• Bob Campbell MW    90 Points    NZ Listener, 08 Dec 2023    A hint of initial sweetness rounds off the edges of the wine giving it a mellow texture before the acidity kicks in to promote a refreshingly dry finish. Nice purity—a perfect picnic wine.

   

• Food Matching Notes:    A fantastic aperitif style that is also well matched with richer dishes of cheese, pork, charcuterie, seafood and poultry.

  About Two Paddocks:    Actor Sam Neill planted his original 2 hectare vineyard, the First Paddock site, at Gibbston in Central Otago in 1993. That vineyard has now been doubled in size and two more blocks added, the 3 hectare Alex Blocks vineyard perched above the Clutha River at Alexandra and the 5.5 hectare Redbank Paddocks site in the Earnscleugh Valley.
