Unprecedented NZ Pinot Noir (any wine for that matter) Champion Trophy Success. 2023 Southern Tor is on a Champion Trophy rampage! Champion Pinot Noir & Champion Otago Wine Aotearoa Regional Wine Awards… NOW Champion Pinot & Champion Wine of Show NZIWS! This is on the back of 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 2023 is again impressive, gorgeous in fact, 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 Connellâ€. 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!
Smells
Haunting aromas of dark berry and fresh dark cherry with subtle raspberry. Floral and baking spice notes emerge from under the heady fruit.
