2022 McArthur Gully Pinot Noir

95 Points Richard Caro
In stock
Twin of WORLDS BEST PINOT NOIR - Limited Release! Almost identical to the winner of 'Worlds Best Pinot', the Southern Tor 2022 but because they used some experimental barrels for this small batch, they are not allowed to use the Southern Tor label. We are huge fans of the  stunning Pinot Noir's made by Matt Connell, one of New Zealands finest winemakers. Since joining MacArthur Ridge for the 2020 vintage, these wines have become the most awarded Pinot Noirs in the country. The 2022 vintage in Alexandra was their greatest yet. Thanks to your support of their wines over the last few years, McArthur Ridge have offered us this special Limited Edition, and we've also secured it at an even lower price than the Southern Tor! With only around 15 barrels produced, The McArthur Gully 2022 will not be widely available. This will likely be your only chance to secure some bottles. Packed with the density and freshness we love from the Southern Tor, but an an even lower price, McArthur Gully is an absolute no brainer for drinking or cellaring! Extremely limited quantities.

Its Origins

McArthur Ridge website: "Nestled within the picturesque Alexandra Valley, our vineyard stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to crafting exceptional wines that embody the essence of this captivating region. With roots tracing back to the late 1800s, we have nurtured a profound connection to this special place. We firmly believe that great wines are born from a deep understanding of the land and an unwavering commitment to showcasing its unique character. Our vineyards, perched upon an elevated plateau and planted across gentle northern slopes, bask in the warmth of the Central Otago sun. The Brassknocker soils, coupled with the pure glacial-fed waters that nourish our vines, bestow upon our wines a distinct sense of place—a true reflection of our terroir.

What The Critics Say

Winemaker notes

"Introducing the McArthur Gully Pinot Noir 2022—a truly exceptional limited release. Crafted the same as our Southern Tor Pinot Noir 2022 but aged in experimental barrels, this wine embodies the essence of our Brassknocker soils, seamlessly integrated with a curated selection of oak. The 2022 vintage stands out as one of our finest yet, garnering praises following our global recognition and awards of the Southern tor affirming its outstanding quality. With its unique character and extraordinary depth, McArthur Gully is more than a wine—it’s a rare experience. The 2022 Southern Tor sold out in days after being crowned Best in the World at Decanter. This limited-release wine from the same celebrated vintage is expected to follow suit."
