Two Paddocks Proprietor's Reserve The Fusilier Pinot Noir 2022 Central Otago
Sam Neill wine
This vibrant and spicy pinot noir shows aromas of cherries, dried raspberries, sweet spices and some smoke. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Precise and textural. Racy and full of verve, with a long, peppery finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
James Suckling, 97 Points, Oct 2025
Gorgeously ripe with complexity, the wine shows dark berry, smoked game, tapenade, mixed spice, and cedar aromas on the nose. The concentrated palate displays a silky texture and a plump mouthfeel, wonderfully framed by chalky tannins that offer an excellent grip and
structure, yet it finishes flowing and mouth-filling. Certified organic. At its best: now to 2037.

The 2022 vintage was estate-grown at Bannockburn, hand-picked and matured in French oak barrels. Full, bright ruby, it is mouthfilling, with ripe cherry, plum, spice and nut flavours, showing very good depth, and a supple, very harmonious finish. Certified organic.

There’s no mistaking the sense of site with this wine, the voice of place is clear [for me] with scents of floral perfumes and soft earth clay, a fine dried herb seam with layers of vanilla spice and sweet French oak. Taut and new still with tension from fine tannins and acid line, this holds the palate to allow the flavours of red berries, plum and wild black currant berries to add their voice and softness. Dry, plenty of fine textures and complexity. Lengthy and well made with best drinking from 2028 through 2038. 96 Points, Outstanding
