      Valli Bendigo Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

      Ripe, concentrated wine with cassis, blackberry, violet, dark chocolate and spicy oak underpinned with vibrant acidity. It's a wine with heft, obvious power and the ability to age gracefully.

      — Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, 96/100 Points

      The 2022 Bendigo Vineyard Pinot Noir is lovely, every which way. The fruit is concentrated and supple, and it has liveliness and freshness from the acidity, but the tannins bring that forth in the mouth as well. This is a beautifully shaped wine, more curved and flowing than static or straight. A wine of substance, it is also a wine that has restraint and space. It's skillfully handled and super impressive.

      VALLI

      VALLI is the personal vocation of pioneering winemaker Grant Taylor. Grant’s name is synonymous with Otago Pinot Noir. He has been crafting wines there since 1993 when there were only 20 ha planted – today there are over 2000. Grant founded VALLI in 1998 with the intention to produce single vineyard Pinot Noirs highlighting the different characteristics of Otago’s sub regions. More than 20 years later, VALLI is doing just that, producing single-vineyard pinot noirs from Gibbston, Bannockburn, and Bendigo in Central Otago and the Waitaki Valley in North Otago, as well as a dry Pinot Gris from Gibbston and a Riesling from Waitaki. In 2015, established Otago winemaker Jen Parr joined Grant in the winery, where the two aim to create wines with honesty, integrity, and most of all, a sense of place. When you drink a Valli wine, you are enjoying more than just a wine: you are experiencing a place.

      Tasting notes

      NOSE
      Captivating Aromatics

      Think earthy Portobello mushrooms, dark chocolate, and cedar, balanced with a lively burst of blackberries, Bing cherries, and a touch of lilac flower. Multi-layered with richness and depth.

      PALATE
      Vibrant and Substantial

      Flavours of ripe blackcurrant, mulberry, and juicy plums take centre stage, while subtle spices like cinnamon and pepper add depth. The interplay between savoury and sweet is beautifully balanced. The tannins are fine and firm, giving the wine structure and complexity.

      FINISH
      Long, Lingering, and Memorable

      Dark fruit and spice notes continuing to dance on the palate. Subtle undertones of chocolate, hazelnut, and a whisper of umami add intrigue, leaving a lasting impression of the wine’s fine tannins and elegant structure.
