2012 Valli 'Out of the Shadows' Waitaki Pinot Noir
$175.00
Grant Taylors name has become synonymous with Central Otago wine. Among his many accolades, Grant is the winner of no less than four Trophies for Champion Pinot Noir at London’s International Wine and Spirits Challenge. A feat achieved by no other winemaker anywhere in the world, ever!
I’m excited to showcase this special library release of the 2012 'Out of the Shadows' Pinot Noir from Grant Taylors much loved home, the Waitaki Valley. I’ve known Grant since 2003 and I’ve had the pleasure of assisting him with harvest on a number of occasions. I consider him my friend and his wines among the finest I’ve tasted.
“This is a very inaugural release of Valli’s “Out of the Shadows” series.Every once in a while, there are those special one or two barrels a winemaker would like to bottle separately, hide in the warehouse, pull out of the shadows and share once they are approaching maturity.In 2012, a single vineyard site along Waitaki Valleys Grants Road provided such a wine.It is now time to share and while this wine is beginning to show the complexity that can only come with age, we expect it will last and improve for another 4 or 5 years.”
