Mt Difficulty Roaring Meg Pinot Noir 2018 (Central Otago)
Dozen Price: $359.88
RRP: $32.99
Mt Difficulty Roaring Meg Pinot Noir 2018 vintage celebrates the potential of Central Otago for producing aromatically intense Pinot Noir.
Wild Raspberry and dark Boysenberry overlay sweet brown spice characters.
These same berry notes frame the entry to the wine, leading to a textured mid palate. Ripe textural tannins rise gracefully out of the mid-palate to finish the wine. These tannins are balanced by the wine’s acidity and more berry fruit.
Roaring Meg Pinot Noir will improve for 3-5 years given optimal vintage and cellaring conditions.

One for the record books, and a vintage of two halves. There was exceptional warmth from September through to late January, before cooling off through February and Autumn. With the warm start we got underway early; this warm settled weather continued through flowering and fruit set. The potential crop was well set, yet small as a result of the cool December. The vineyards really started to dry out through December and January, with irrigation struggling. With the arrival of February, temperatures plummeted to below average and rainfall was well above average. These cool and wetter-than-average conditions persisted right through harvest. Disease pressure remained low, even with the elevated rainfall, through the finish of the season. The cool, late Summer / Autumn period enabled berry ripening through a cooler period providing ripe fresh characters. Winery Notes
