Shaky Bridge Pioneer Series Pinot Noir 2020, Central Otago, South Island, New Zealand: From Central Otago wine region, Shaky Bridge Pioneer Series 2020 Pinot Noir is known for some of the oldest wine plantings in Central Otago. In 1973, Bill and Gill Grant planted vines on their 40-acre block on Dunstan Road just outside Alexandra to “see what might happen”, which became the calling for their wine-making son and now owner of the winery, Dave Grant. Dry, medium-bodied and fresh with ripe raspberry, earthy mushroom pink florals and dried wild herbs, this is a lovely South Island PN ready to drink now through 2029. Pinot Noir food pairings: veal chops from the grill, roast duck, pork tenderloin.
