Description

Bald Hills Winery in the Bannockburn Valley in Central Otago NZ is  bordered by the “bald” Cairnmuir hills and the Kawarau River, with panoramic, jaw-dropping views towards the Pisa Range and glacier-carved terraces above Lowburn.  Bald Hills’ greatest triumph was in winning the international trophies for Pinot Noir at world competitions Decanter and IWC.

From the winemaker about this wine … “Bright ruby with a violet tinge, the 2006 Pinot Noir displays an enticing bouquet of bright fruits, mixed spice and rose florals. The wine is rich and dense on the palate with tannins supporting vibrant fruit through the finish. A very complex and exciting Pinot Noir that will age superbly.  Grant Taylor, the Winemaker of many of our Pinots always felt that the 2006 vintage was better than the multi-awarded 2005 vintage.  Perhaps he was right for this wine is now drinking superbly well after 5 years in the bottle.  The balance of savoury and fruit is impeccable.”

Blue Gold Medal, Sydney International Wine Show 2009

5 Stars Michael Cooper’s Buyer’s Guide 2009 “…estate-grown at Bannockburn and matured in French oak barriques (35% new).  Full-coloured, rich and lively, with cherry, plum and spice flavours, savoury and complex, it is very finely balanced and lingering, offering delicious drinking now onwards…”
