✨ Free Shipping over $300 (Excl. NT)
Overview
The 2018 Domaine Thomson “Rows 78–89” Pinot Noir is a meticulous single-parcel expression from Central Otago, crafted to highlight purity, precision, and vineyard identity. Named after the specific rows from which the fruit is sourced, this wine reflects both the granitic soils and the dramatic continental climate that define the region. The 2018 vintage delivers depth, structure, and refined concentration.
Vineyard and Winemaking
Grown in low-yielding vineyard rows selected for their balance and flavour intensity, the fruit was hand-harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts. A proportion of whole bunches was included to enhance aromatic complexity and structural nuance. Gentle extraction preserved elegance, while maturation in French oak barriques allowed integration and subtle spice without overshadowing fruit purity.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, and plum unfold with notes of violet, spice, and crushed stone. The palate is layered and finely structured, showing vibrant red and black fruit framed by silky tannins and lively acidity. Mineral undertones and savoury complexity lead to a long, poised finish of clarity and drive.
Style and Character
This is a Central Otago Pinot Noir of precision and quiet power — concentrated yet restrained, expressive yet refined. The 2018 vintage highlights the vineyard’s character with transparency, offering both immediate appeal and ageing potential.
Cellaring and Pairing
Enjoy now with decanting or cellar confidently for 10–15 years. Ideal with roast duck, lamb loin, mushroom dishes, or game cuisine that complements its savoury depth and structure.
