The wine
Deep garnet. Alluring cherry, blackcurrant, plum, cedar, sage and liquorice.
Central Otago is the southernmost wine region in the world and the only one in New Zealand with a continental rather than maritime climate: hot days, cold nights and a real winter. That swing gives its Pinot Noir concentration and lift in equal measure, and the savoury, herbal edge here is characteristic of the region rather than of anything done in the cellar.

Wild Earth
View all Wild Earth winesWild Earth is a Central Otago estate devoted to Pinot Noir, the grape that has made this dramatic corner of New Zealand's South Island famous. Set among some of the world's most southerly vineyards, it crafts wines of purity and perfume.
Central Otago's continental climate, with its warm days and cold nights, and its schist-rich soils give Pinot Noir both ripeness and a vivid, lifted freshness. Careful farming preserves that natural energy.
The Central Otago Pinot Noir is the heart of the range, a perfumed, silky red of red-berry fruit and fine, elegant tannin, true to its cool-climate home.
Pure, expressive and beautifully balanced, this is Central Otago Pinot at its most appealing. Discover the wild south of New Zealand.
