Two Paddocks The First Paddock Pinot Noir
First Paddock is at the top tier of Sam Neill’s Two Paddocks estate, and with just 200 cases produced, it’s very rare in Australia. This vineyard in upper Gibbston Valley celebrates its twentieth birthday this year, providing impressive focus and great persistence to this finely mineral style. Whole bunch fermentation lifts its violet and exotic spice profile, without disrupting its elegant fruit balance.
