Tasting Notes

These 6 bottle cases contain 2 bottles each of 3 Pinot Noirs from Wild Irishman from 3 key vineyard regions of Central Otago.

Macushla from Gibbston
Doctors Flat from Bannockburn
Tuturi from Alexandra

Wild Irishman is the new project from the guru of Central Otago Pinot Noir - Alan Brady - and wine-maker Brian Shaw. Both of whom come from Northern Ireland originally. Alan planted the first ever Pinot Noir vines in Central Otago back in 1982 in the Gibbston Valley. He has been a leading figure in the region ever since and was an original shareholder in Felton Road and a mentor to owner Nigel Greening. Further advice comes from Francois Millet former wine-maker of Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue.
