Mt Difficulty Roaring Meg Pinot Noir 2017 (Central Otago)
Tasting Notes
Mt Difficulty Roaring Meg Pinot Noir 2017 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.

Situated in Bannockburn, a unique and rare area of extremes, Mt Difficulty has harnessed the once brutal terrain to produce premium wines at the forefront of Central Otago's wine production.
The grapes for Mt Difficulty Roaring Meg Pinot Noir 2017 come from Cromwell basin vineyards managed by our viticultural team. The majority of the fruit was destemmed to enhance the natural fruit characters of the Cromwell Basin. A small proportion was retained as whole cluster, with the aim of building texture and structure. The grapes stayed in the fermentor on average for a total of 21-23 days, with temperatures peaking at 28 -300C. The wine was plunged once daily during pre-fermentation and twice daily during fermentation. When the wine tasted in harmony it was pressed off to French oak where it resided on lees for 10 months. It underwent malolactic fermentation during early spring, was racked out of barrel in mid-summer with filtration, but no fining, prior to bottling. Winery Notes
