Accolades:
5 stars – Michael Cooper

“This highly refined, bright ruby red flows from the same site as the chardonnay and was barrel-aged for nearly a year. Mouthfilling, sweet-fruited and supple, it has generous cherry, plum and spice flavours, is complex, savoury, harmonious and lingering. Finely crafted and already delicious, it should be at its best 2026+.” – Michael Cooper

Tasting Note: “This special cuvee comes from the Highgrange Vineyard, an elevated site on Mt. Pisa.  It celebrates the accomplishments of Levi, New Zealand’s first bowel cancer medical detection dog. We are proud to donate proceeds of this wine to K9MD, an Otago charity that trains Levi and other clever dogs for the early detection of cancer. “Levi” Pinot Noir has a captivating nose of plum, baked cherry and Chinese five spice. The palate is silky and rich with wonderful layers of red fruit and spice that are woven together by an abundance of fine tannin and bright acidity. A unique wine that is best enjoyed with a special meal and great company over the next 15+ years.” – Jen Parr
