Otu Limited Release Pinot Noir

OTU (pronounced o-two) is Otuwhero Estate and it’s named after the mighty Otuwhero River that runs through the lower valleys of Marlborough. This ancient river provides Otu with vineyards full of rich alluvial gravels and clay soils and along with its remote and rugged coastal setting it’s perfect for producing wines full of intense, ripe flavours!

Overseeing the OTU winery team is leading New Zealand female winemaker Anna Remond. Anna spent some 15 years with the world famous Oyster Bay winemaking team and has experience under her belt with vintages in Sancerre and Burgundy in France. Not only a bloody good winemaker, Anna is a mentor for NZ’s “Women in Wine Programme” supporting women to develop their careers in winemaking and reach their full potential.

This is their extremely classy Limited Release series and, not surprisingly, these are wines only released in good vintages in limited quantities when Jeff identifies top quality fruit worthy of the label. This is a full bodied style Marlborough Pinot from a single vineyard site.

This 2023 release Marlborough Pinot is a class act and follows on from the previous vintage also winning Gold at the NZ International Wine Show!

A bargain for the money – if it had Central Otago on the label you’d be paying $40 to 50 easy! Drink now to 2028.
