Mumm Central Otago Pinot Noir 2022 (6 Bottles)

Six bottles of layered, textural Pinot from Central Otago’s Lowburn sub-region. Mumm Central Otago Pinot Noir 2022 signals a confident still wine debut from the house of G.H. Mumm. Part of the Terroir Collection, this inaugural New Zealand release is sourced exclusively from schist-rich soils in Lowburn, where cool nights and warm days drive intensity and precision in the fruit.

Crafted in collaboration with Pernod Ricard Winemakers, the wine was aged for 16 months in French oak, with half of the barrels new. The result is bold yet composed: dark cherry, blackberry and savoury spice layered over polished tannins and refined oak. This six-bottle set offers a compelling lens into Central Otago’s distinctive energy, equally at home in the cellar or alongside duck, venison or earthy mushroom dishes.
