Madam Sass Central Otago Pinot Noir 2018

“Madam Sass is all about primary fruity aromas and flavours with forward fruit making the wine almost seem sweet. There is no sugar but the generous fruit in the wine is typical of NZ and gives the illusion of sweetness. A light bodied red wine which clearly speaks of NZ with its upfront fruity style.” – Lynnette Hudson, Experienced Winemaker & Advisor
Described as “Seriously Sassy,” this vibrant Pinot Noir is full of attitude, style and extravagance. Aromas of decadent spice and sweet cherry are delivered with a fleshy, fruit driven, seamless finish.

Bendigo is renowned for vibrant dark fruit flavours and finely tuned acidity. Formed from glaciers grinding schist rocks to smaller gravels and finer particles, the soil is rich in minerals, free draining and perfect for growing exceptional Pinot Noir. Literally named after a miners original gold claim, the Claim 431 Vineyard in Bendigo sits firmly at the heart of New Zealands illustrious gold rush history.
