Pepperjack Central Otago Pinot Noir is a mouth filling dark cherry and luscious cassis character wine matched with supple tannin that gives a silken textural structure. The savoury cocoa and resinous spices from the oak and whole bunch fermentation help draw the red and blue fruits across palate melding to a complex and concentrated finish.
