Region: Central Otago
Grapes: Pinot Noir
First Glance: Dark Fruit, Forest Floor, Powerful Core, Structured
The Wine:
MacMuir always has a distinctive nose: darker fruits, with leaf hints and a touch of forest
floor. On the palate there is the immediate impact of MacMuir muscle, a solid authority rather than aggression, eventually revealing its subdued powerful core. While there is copious tannin, it is wonderfully fine, adding a note of suavity to what might otherwise be an expression of strength. An impeccable finish, long and pure.
The Review:
Gary Walsh, The Wine Front - 95+pts
"Dark cherry, dried raspberry, earth, a sort of exotic five spice thing happening, almost to liquorice in that way too, some classic Otago notes of rosemary and sage, and iron filings (don’t mind me). It’s kind of a muscular wine, but not without freshness and a certain sappy energy, tannin has a fine stony feel, and the finish is long and nutty with a powdery grip. Charismatic and very good. Felton Road are in great form in 2025."
