Two Paddocks Picnic Pinot Noir

Two Paddocks is the “The Fine Wine & Cheering Up Business” of famous NZ actor Sam Neill.

The First Paddock was Sam’s first vineyard – 4.6 hectares of 100% Pinot Noir planted in Central Otago’s Gibbston Valley in 1993. These days he’s got The Last Chance (Earnscleugh), Red Bank Farm & Vineyard (Alexandra Basin) and The Fusilier (Felton Road, Bannockburn).

In their own words they’re “A very very small company, utterly obsessed with Pinot Noir. And Riesling. And with great pride – organics, quality, authenticity, detail and style. Having said all that, we don’t take ourselves at all seriously – the seriousness we leave to our SERIOUS wines.”

This is the 2023 vintage of the Two Paddocks Picnic Pinot Noir and it’s what they say is “our perennial favourite – the wine to enjoy everyday and a wonderful introduction to the pleasure of Central Otago Pinot Noir.”

Scoring 90/100 with The Real Review’s Huon Hooke who said “This has more structure than usually seen in an entry-level pinot noir. Good value.”

Certified BioGro organic this is good to go now or cellar for up to 6-7 years from vintage.
