Well, this is somewhat gratifying. The Robb Report @robbreportau has included our Two Paddocks Fusilier Pinot Noir in their list of six incredible New Zealand reds worth drinking right now — which, in a country still best known for its Sauvignon Blanc , feels satisfying for those of us who have always believed in the reds .
They describe it as having aromas of sweet baking spices, white pepper, red raspberry and hickory smoke . Very good ! The Fusilier has always been a wine with something to say .
Mike and Jeff — thank you. Your enthusiasm for New Zealand reds is very much appreciated.

Mark Henderson writes in the @otagodailytimes yesterday “If you follow the Burgundian Pinot Noir model, then the very finest vineyard sites have proved themselves over hundreds of years, designated Grand Crus or Premier Crus. We don’t have that history in NZ but there are clearly many, many wines from a single site or vineyard that proudly denote their place of origin…
2022 The Last Chance Vineyard Pinot Noir
Rating Excellent to Outstanding
Lovely persistence and a little intrigue to keep you coming back for more.
2021 The Last Chance Vineyard Pinot Noir

HARVEST 2026. And after a cooler than hoped spring and summer , autumn has been brilliant. So yesterday , Vintage 2026 began at Two Paddocks The Last Chance Vineyard , Earnscleugh. I am over excited to be home for this : what promises to be a great Pinot year for us . Remember , Central Otago is a very rare little corner of the world where great Pinot can be grown . We really do not need filthy ruinous mining here- that would be the end of it . As well as fruit growing , tourism etc ., and the sheer beauty of the land … STOP THE MINE !

A big couple of weeks @twopaddocks topped off by Two Paddocks Pinot Noir 2023 winning the Top Red award for the @susieandpeter 2026 New Zealand Wine Report. All the Two Paddocks Crew delighted, none more so than @samneilltheprop . The 2022 Proprietor’s Reserve single vineyards all received 95 Pts plus, so it’s been a joyous hats in the air brouhaha end to the week. Wonderful to see this recognition and endorsement for the vineyard & winemaking teams. Also a huge thanks to MWs Susie & Peter Richards for supporting all of us within the #nzwine community with our efforts over in the UK. You can also see the Prop, Sam Neill, being interviewed by Susie and Peter on their @wine_blast podcast.
Enjoy!

Two Paddocks has been receiving some lofty accolades recently from a number of high profile international wine commentators such as @james.suckling . These endorsements are admittedly a thrill and gratefully received for a number of reasons, plus they serve as reassurance to our loyal community, that after 33 years of farming and winemaking, @twopaddocks is still on a quest for continual improvement. So let’s celebrate some of the wins that @samneilltheprop and his team are enjoying after 1/3 of a century of knowledge accumulation and hard work on these special #centralotago vineyards. And thanks James & Team!
