Overview:
Misha’s Vineyard The High Note Pinot Noir is a beautifully expressive Central Otago red, crafted from the sun-soaked terraces of Bendigo overlooking Lake Dunstan. Dark ruby in colour, it opens with layers of wild thyme, rosehip, red fruits and spice, leading into a palate that balances sweet fruit with mineral purity. Elegant, structured and deeply evocative, it captures both the power and finesse of its spectacular site.
Tasting Notes:
Enticing aromas of cherry, raspberry, rosehip and wild herbs rise from the glass, underscored by floral hints and spice. The palate is medium to full bodied, carrying rich red fruit interwoven with savoury notes of thyme, liquorice and earthy complexity. Silky tannins and bright acidity provide balance and finesse, while a mineral thread runs through to a long, brooding and persistent finish. Harmonious, layered and graceful, this Pinot Noir will reward patience in the cellar yet already shows superb approachability.
