Unprecedented NZ Pinot Noir (any wine for that matter) Champion Trophy Success. With the 2020/2022/2023 vintages winning 10 Champion Trophies between them plus… 7 Gold Medals – Decanter Best in Show – 4 x 95-97/100 Ratings – 4 x 5 Stars! This consecutive 4-vintage success is unprecedented in NZ, possibly internationally. Compelling results indeed! This new 2024 is again impressive, gorgeous in fact, every bit as good as the 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 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 delicious in its youth... it will age easily for 10-years and is an unprecedented Pinot cellar bargain!

Haunting aromas of dark berry and fresh dark cherry with subtle raspberry. Floral and baking spice notes emerge from under the heady fruit.

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+.
