Mt Difficulty ′Roaring Meg′ Pinot Noir 2019/20, Central Otago

The sustainable Mt. Difficulty winery is the most famous producer in Central Otago. Their famed Roaring Meg range came about almost by accident. In 2003, there was leftover fruit from some of their best vineyards. So the winemaking team here saw an opportunity to try out a different style of Pinot Noir. They made a wine which was exceptionally fruity – one which was made to drink young. Roaring Meg was born. And it was such a success, they’ve been making it ever since. This is a real favourite of ours. It’s packed with red fruity flavours. Raspberry. Red cherry. A hint of spice. Perfect with glazed ham or rustic duck cassoulet.
