Overview:
Pyramid Valley Snake's Tongue Pinot Noir is a powerful yet refined expression of Central Otago, showcasing the richness of Abel clone fruit from a special vineyard site. With a deep, dark velvet hue, it reveals layers of ripe plum, wild thyme and spice, all bound by plush tannins and a velvety texture. This is a wine of intensity and elegance, a striking example of place and pedigree.
Tasting Notes:
The bouquet is complex and alluring, with ripe dark cherries, plum, wild thyme, roasted nuts and hints of smoked game. On the palate, concentrated dark fruit flavours are supported by savoury spice and herbal undertones. The texture is silky and enveloping, with velvety tannins that carry through to a long, harmonious finish. A wine of depth and structure, it will reward careful cellaring and shows its best when decanted.
