Description

Wooing Tree has built its reputation on bold, generous Pinots, and Sandstorm Reserve sits at the top of that range. It’s made from a small selection of the best parcels on their Cromwell vineyard – low-yielding vines growing in sandy soils that naturally produce smaller berries and deep concentration.

2019 was a near-perfect year for Pinot in Central Otago, with a long, even ripening window and no major weather dramas. The fruit was hand-picked, fermented in small open vats and aged in French oak, with a good portion new, to add structure and spice without dominating the fruit.

The wine is plush and dark, with layers of cherry, plum and baking spice wrapped around firm, fine-grained tannins. There’s richness here, but it stays balanced – a serious, cellar-worthy Pinot that still carries the open, generous style that defines Wooing Tree.

Tasting Notes

Cromwell’s Wooing Tree, is a family owned single vineyard site, located in the heart of Central Otago, the wine region fast becoming known for its top quality Pinot Noir. For many thousands of years Cromwell has been subjected to sandstorms during strong NW winds. Wind blown sands form Cromwell’s unique habitat as one of the only inland sand dunes in New Zealand. The development of Wooing Tree vineyard created a few sandstorms of its own. Especially low yielding ripe hand picked fruit, gentle winemaking and extended maturation in French oak have resulted in a complex and powerful wine. It has aromas of red berries, violets, and fruitcake with a hint of spice. Ripe berry, smoky plum, cherry and dark chocolate show on the palate with a long sweet fruit finish. A great example of one of the best Central Otago Pinot Noirs – Best rewards are gained by careful cellaring.
