Description
2020 Southern Tor won Champion Trophy for “Best Central Otago Pinot Noir” + the Big Trophy for “Best NZ Red Wine” of Show... both at the iconic London “International Wine Challenge”. It backed that up with a massive 96/100 + Gold at the World’s equal toughest Wine Show... “Decanter World Wine Awards” in London. Plus, Champion Pinot Noir of Show + Gold at NZIWS. The 2021 collected 4 Champion Trophies including Champion Otago Pinot Noir, Champion NZ Pinot Noir, Champion NZ Red & Champion Overall Wine of Show at the Aotearoa Wine Awards and Champion Regional Pinot Noir at IWC London 2023... Golds at Decanter World Wine Awards 2023 and NZIWS! The 2022 Southern Tor drew a 96/100 from our Tasting Panel and had already gone GOLD at the IWC in London… before scooping 97/100, Platinum + Best in Show at Decanter World Wine Awards. Southern Tor is without doubt the most awarded wine domestically and internationally over consecutive 2020/2021/2022 vintages. Compelling results indeed! This new 2023 is again impressive, gorgeous in fact, and it already has four Trophies in the bag. Champion Pinot Noir & Champion Central Otago wine at 2024 Aotearoa Regional Wine Competition and Champion Pinot Noir plus Champion Wine of Show at NZIWS! It is every bit as good as the 2020, 2021 & 2022 we feel, perhaps a touch more muscular. The Southern Tor style is consistently rich, mouth filling, textural, with very smooth tannins and delicious, sweet/savoury contrast. The final clue to Southern Tor’s Global success is its making by Central Otago “World Champion” Pinot Noir winemaker “Matt Connell”. This is World Class Kiwi Pinot that would sell for several times its price was it from Burgundy. Utterly divine in its youth... it will age easily for 10-years and is a stellar Pinot cellar bargain!
Smells
Haunting aromas of dark berry and fresh dark cherry with subtle raspberry. Floral and baking spice notes emerge from under the heady fruit.
Tastes
Instantly luscious and textural... a wave of black berry, plum and cherry layered with subtle sweet baking spices totally wow your taste buds. A subtle thread of toasty oak with hints of black forest Gateau and savoury game build charm and momentum as it culminates in a powerful, but elegantly dry finish. Enjoy this world class Pinot with or without food… now through 2030+.
