Two Paddocks Picnic Central Otago Pinot Noir 2023 is a vibrant, fruit-driven expression of organic Central Otago Pinot Noir made with minimal intervention and maximum character. Hand-harvested and 89% de-stemmed, the fruit underwent a gentle cold maceration before wild fermentation, followed by post-ferment skin contact to build complexity. Maturation in predominantly seasoned French oak barriques for 9 months (just 2% new) ensures oak plays a supportive rather than dominant role.
The result is a lively, aromatic Pinot bursting with crisp black cherry, Doris plum and wild Central Otago herbs. The palate is exuberantly fresh, loaded with vivid red fruits and a streak of minerality, finishing with lovely drive and energy. Made by Dean Shaw—one of New Zealand’s finest winemakers—this wine captures the purity and elegance of the region’s signature style.
Rated 90 Points by Huon Hooke (The Real Review) and Certified Organic and Vegan Friendly, this is a serious Pinot for casual occasions, delivering premium pedigree in an approachable and expressive package.
90 Point Rated, Huon Hooke The Real Review
"The colour has very good depth and hue, the bouquet is fresh and bright with red cherry, meaty charcuterie and fragrant dried herb overtones, the palate medium tomlight weight with a drying feel thanks to abundant tannin and lively acidity. This has more structure than usually seen in an entry-level pinot noir. Good value. Drinking 2024 - 2031"
