Bendigo Hills The Cob Cottage Pinot Noir 2019
- Textured, savoury
- Central Otago
Bendigo Hills is the semi-arid subregion of Central Otago, with north facing terraced slopes, famous for growing some of the region’s finest pinot noir. Planted in 2003, The Cob Cottage vineyard is certified organic, where the grapes are allowed to reach their prime ripeness before being handpicked and fermented.
Profile
The region is famous for its deep and powerful pinots, and this is no exception. The wine is aged for a year in 25% new French oak, which adds texture and a few notes of cedar to the fruit profile of cherries, sour plums and cranberries that abound in the wine. There is also a very alluring mushroom note that is present on the nose and long, complex finish. So much to love in this wine- give it some air and it’ll only get better.
Reviews
Wine Orbit
“It’s complex and enticing with dark cherry, roasted nut, warm spice and savoury nuances on the nose. The palate delivers excellent weight and fine texture, combined with deliciously appealing fruit flavours and beautifully pitched tannins, making it delightfully harmonious and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2029.”

Region
Central Otago
Central Otago is the New Zealand's highest and the world's most southerly wine region at latitude 45°S. It has cold winters, hot summers, cool nights and low rainfall, and is ideally suited to Pinot Noir, which covers 80% of plantings. The rest is mainly planted to Chardonnay, with smatterings of Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris. Expect character and intensity as the hallmarks of this marginal region.
