Product Description: A bold step into still wine from a house defined by sparkling. Mumm Central Otago Pinot Noir 2022 is part of the Terroir Collection, created by G.H. Mumm in collaboration with Pernod Ricard Winemakers. It is the house’s first still release from New Zealand, sourced exclusively from the Lowburn sub-region of Central Otago, where schist and gravel soils meet sharp diurnal shifts to yield Pinot Noir of intensity and clarity. Hand-harvested fruit and precise winemaking—including 16 months in French oak with 50% new barrels—give this wine both muscular depth and polish. With its rich fruit, savoury layers, and fine tannins, it channels Central Otago’s bold character while remaining refined and ageworthy. Tasting Notes NOSE – Dark and spiced Black cherry, blackberry, and plum layered with savoury undergrowth, baking spice, and hints of vanilla and mulled orange.

FINISH – Long and polished Lingering, textured, with intensity balanced by regional freshness.

Reviews + Accolades Here the nose is both spicier and fresher with its mix of red and dark currant, cassis and soft wood nuances. There is lovely delineation to the energetic middle weight flavors that exhibit more minerality on the balanced, linear and very firm finale. This should age gracefully and is a wine that will need at least 6 to 8 years first. Drink 2031+ - Burghound, 93 Points.

This vintage has produced a Pinot Noir displaying ripe rich aromatics; perfumed black fruits of the forest dominate the aroma and these are underpinned by lovely clove, anise and other brown spice notes. The wine displays lovely elegance and flows with striking precision and clarity. On the palate it kicks off with a supple dark berry entry, moving into a beautifully textured plush mid-palate, after which fine elegant textural tannins frame fruit and acidity on a lengthy finish. Mt Difficulty Bannockburn Pinot Noir will improve for 7-10 years given optimal vintage and cellaring conditions.
