Founded in 1993 by the proprietor, Sam Neill, Two Paddocks consists of four small estate vineyards in Central Otago. Typically, these sites are blended to produce the flagship Two Paddocks Estate Pinot Noir. However, in outstanding seasons, winemaker Dean Shaw also crafts a limited top tier barrel selection and creates an ‘uber Two Paddocks’. Sam has named this rare Central Otago combination, The Major General, in remembrance of his Great Grandfather, Brigadier General Charles Triscott, CMG DSO CB.
Black cherry, dark brooding spice aromatics and textural oak support on the nose lead to a powerful, fully textured wine that shows density, drive and a lingering, persistent finish.
