Bendigo

Bendigo is a subregion located in the northeastern part of Central Otago on New Zealand's South Island, distinguished by its north-facing slopes and terraced vineyards that enjoy excellent sun exposure. This warm, dry subregion features schist soils and a semi-continental climate, producing intensely flavored, structured Pinot Noir wines with notable concentration and aging potential. While Pinot Noir is the dominant variety, Bendigo also produces small quantities of Riesling, Chardonnay, and Pinot Gris.

30 Degrees Pinot Noir

30 Degrees

Red

This captivating Pinot Noir from New Zealand's southernmost wine region delivers exactly what cool-climate Pinot should – elegance, purity, and personality. The name '30 Degrees' refers to the latitude where these grapes are grown, placing them in the sweet spot for developing those complex flavors Pinot lovers crave. Central Otago has become a bit of a rock star in the Pinot world – it's like that indie band that suddenly everyone realizes is amazing. This bottle showcases why, with its perfect balance of fruit-forward charm and subtle earthy complexity. Not too light, not too heavy – just right for everything from Tuesday night takeout to Saturday dinner parties where you want to quietly impress everyone without being that person who talks about wine for 45 minutes straight.
