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.

Densely coloured, perfumed with lifted dark berry fruit on the nose with hints of spice and savoury characters. The palate shows plums and cherry fruit, spicy notes and fine tannins. Nice subtle integrated oak and a long finish.
