Mt Difficulty are a top pinot noir producer in Central Otago in New Zealand. This style of wine is an example of why Central Otago pinot noir is so attractive to the consumer. It is a high quality pinot noir produced in an unarguably cool climate and shows correct and well proportioned pinot noir characters. Dark in colour, the 2023 vintage of Mt Difficulty’s pinot noir from the Bannockburn sub region has lovely aromas of dark cherries and cedar. The palate is medium to full bodied and the same characters carry through in flavours. Drink this lovely wine now. Review Rating: Very Good (★★★★, 90 points). Website: Mt Difficulty Wines.
