Roaring Meg Pinot Noir 2023

Made by the esteemed Mount Difficulty winery, their Roaring Meg wines are somewhat more fruit driven and made for early drinking than the senior label. This is a wine that exhibits a lovely mix of red and black berry fruits with further complexity gained from oak spice. The tannins rise gracefully out of the mid-palate and are balanced by rich fruit and clean acidity which lead to a long, lingering finish with a touch of spice.

Great as stand alone drinking it's also a cracking wine that'll go well with a game casserole, or similar.

Mount Difficulty Wines’s origins date back to the early 1990s when the owners of five newly planted Bannockburn vineyards decided to pool their resources and produce wine under a single label. Pinot Noir, the region's hallmark, is naturally their main focus, but they also excel with Chardonnay and a selection of aromatic whites. Now one of Central Otago's most successful estates, Mount Difficulty offers a range of wines that reflect the area's unique qualities. Their more affordable Roaring Meg wines are particularly noteworthy, providing a great introduction to the region's distinctive character.
