Tarras vineyards is located near the Central Otago town of Tarras. The home vineyard is called the canyon, found high up on the terraces of the old goldfields at Bendigo in Central Otago. Established by Hayden Johnston in 2002, this organically managed vineyard consistently delivers outstanding expressions of great pinot noir with floral aromas, intense fruit, spicy and savoury notes, good natural acidity and impressive tannin profiles. They are distinctive, icon wines that age.
A small batch production wine of just 220 cases. Grown in the Alexandra subregion of Central Otago out Pinot Gris is beautifully fragrant with spicy fruit aromas. The palate is off-dry and full bodied, displaying intense pear, peach, lychee and spice flavours remaining long at the finish with a refreshing mineral tail.
