Select grapes from Central Otago and Marlborough went into this wine, with a palate bursting with maraschino cherry and blackcurrant flavours, framed by toasty oak. Layers of delicate tannin create an opulent texture that flows to a lingering finish.

Central Otago , New Zealand
Central Otago, in New Zealand’s South Island has the distinction of being the most southerly wine region in the world. Amid ravishing landscapes of snow-capped mountains, glittering rivers and deep ravines, this chilly region produces wines of great finesse - with an intensity to match their provenance. Named by Jancis Robinson MW as one of the top 5 new world wine regions, Central Otago produces lush and fragrant Pinot Noir, fine-boned Chardonnay and delicate, precise Pinot Gris.
Spring Timlin – Winemaker
Based in Marlborough, Spring grew up in Christchurch and studied photography and sociology at university before taking a shot at winemaking. To get there she worked her way up through hospitality, on to Lincoln University to study winemaking, into the cellar, then the wine lab before becoming a fully-fledged winemaker. Spring’s bubbly personality and creative background is reflected in Squealing Pig wines.
