Pinot Noir from one of the original names in Central Otago - grown organically at the cold, southern edge of the wine world, where the grape comes into its own.
In stock

Central Otago, in the far south of New Zealand, is one of the coldest places on earth that grows wine - and one of the best for Pinot Noir. Mount Edward is one of its original estates, founded in 1997, and now run by Duncan Forsyth, a well-known character in New Zealand wine who farms the vineyards organically and makes the wine with as little interference as possible.

This is the estate's main Pinot Noir, blended from its best parcels across the region. It's fermented with wild, natural yeasts, with a portion of whole bunches left in for a little extra spice and earthy, herby depth, then aged for around a year in French oak that's mostly older - there to support the wine, not to flavour it.

The result is fragrant and detailed, with red and dark cherry, a touch of wild herb and spice, and a smooth, gently grippy finish. There's real depth here, but it stays elegant rather than heavy. Serve slightly cool, around 14-16°C.

The 2022 Vintage

2022 gave Central Otago a generous, ripe year, and it shows in the depth here. Expect a darker, richer side of the wine - ripe cherry and berry with wild-herb and earthy notes - held together by firm but fine tannins and fresh acidity. A wine with real concentration that's drinking well now and has the structure to keep for years.

Drink: now - 2033

The Fulham Wine Co Take

This is serious Central Otago Pinot without the serious price of the region's biggest names. It has the perfume and silky feel that make great Pinot so appealing, plus an earthy, herby depth from the wild ferment and whole-bunch that sets it apart. Open one now with a good meal, or hold a few back - it'll reward the wait. A benchmark for what this cold corner of New Zealand can do.

Mount Edward

Based in the heart of Central Otago, Mount Edward has been a pioneer of organic and biodynamic winemaking in New Zealand since 1997. Working across sites in Gibbston, Bannockburn and Lowburn, the estate follows a low-intervention philosophy, using native yeasts and minimal sulphur to preserve purity and site expression. The focus is Pinot Noir, Riesling and Chardonnay with texture, structure and clarity. These are vibrant, expressive wines that capture Central Otago’s intensity while retaining balance and precision.

Central Otago

Central Otago is the most southerly wine region on earth - a dramatic landscape of mountains and gorges at the bottom of New Zealand's South Island, where the vines grow higher and further south than almost anywhere else. Unlike the maritime rest of the country, it is dry and continental: fierce sunny days and cold nights, which is exactly what Pinot Noir wants. The result is Pinot of real depth and perfume, grown where few would dare to plant it.
