    Tasting - Central Otago Wines

    7:45 - 9:45 pm

    Venue: Johnsonville Community Centre Hall, 30 Moorefield Rd, Johnsonville, Wellington 6037 - Directions 
    Entry fee: Members $14 Guests $18
    Presenter: Cenna Lloyd from Negociants

         

    What makes this tasting even more interesting we will be doing the reds first. Come along and find out why.

    Secondly, Misha’s vineyard is based in the Bendigo region [between Cromwell and Wanaka although on the eastern side of Lake Dunstan], whereas Two Paddocks actually has 4 vineyards [2 in the Alexandra region, 1 in the Gibbston Valley and 1 in Bannockburn]. Hopefully, this difference in location will help us understand a little better the impact of terroir.

    And to lead us through this tasting we have Cenna Lloyd from Negociants. Cenna presented our very well received Yalumba tasting last year. Sadly there is no truth to the rumour that she had been successful in securing Sam Neill [Two Paddock’s owner] as her assistant.

    Wines to be tasted include:

    • 2018  Two Paddocks’ Single Vineyard Pinot Rose
    • 2017 Misha’s Cantata Pinot Noir
    • 2018 Two Paddocks’ Pinot Noir
    • 2017 Two Paddocks’ Riesling
    • 2015 Misha’s Limelight Riesling
    • 2019 Misha’s Dress Circle Pinot Gris
    • 2018 Misha’s The Cadenza Late Harvest Gewürztraminer
