Introducing Snake's Tongue Pinot Noir

15 April 2024

The newest addition to the Botanicals Collection. Each wine is named after the common colloquial name of the meadow plant dominant in its respective vineyard block creating a new dimension for fine New Zealand wine. They are wines that truly breathe of their place.

Evocatively named after the dominant pasture plant found in the vineyard, we continued that theme with Snake’s Tongue, one of many common names used for blue borage, Viper's (snake’s) bugloss (ox-tongue).

Unquestionably Central Otago, through a Pyramid Valley lens.

Delightful floral notes of lavender and violets followed by crunchy strawberries, cherry tomatoes, and orange wedges. Medium-bodied with refreshing acidity and velvety fine tannins. Very precise and well-framed wine with great finesse and elegance. 96 Points. Jamessuckling.com
