Clos Ostler Pinot Noir 2023
The 2023 season in the Waitaki unfolded as a study in patience and
purity – an elegant reminder of the region’s cool climate character. An
early and promising start saw flowering commence ahead of Central
Otago, setting expectations for a generous crop. However, regular rainfall
through Spring and early Summer challenged fruit set, leading to a
lighter crop load.
Despite the weather interruptions, fruit condition remained remarkable
clean. We had small, pristine bunches and beautifully balanced canopies.
The cooler – longer ripening period then allowed the Clo Ostler hallmark
acidity and aromatic definition to unfold perfectly in time for harvest in
late April. Harvest was done peaceful under settled Autumn skies.
TASTING NOTES
A lifted, aromatic nose of redcurrant, cherry compote, and delicate herbal
perfumes leads the way, offering both vibrancy and nuance. The palate is
seamless and finely textured, with a subtle thread of salinity that adds
energy and tension. Beneath its elegance lies structure — finely grained
tannins and bright acidity that frame the wine and hint at its ageworthiness.
