Tasting Notes

“Picnic” pays tribute to the proprietor’s grandfather, S.E.D. Neill, a wine merchant whose likeness graces the label. Crafted in an approachable and expressive style, it opens with lifted aromatics of redcurrant, wild herbs and delicate purple florals. The palate is supple and finely textured, with silky tannins framing a core of vibrant fruit, carrying through to a persistent and elegant finish.

Two Paddocks

Two Paddocks is an iconic New Zealand wine producer, founded by the esteemed actor Sam Neill. The winemaking journey of Two Paddocks began in 1993 when Sam purchased a 2.5-hectare vineyard in Central Otago, a region known for its superb Pinot Noir. Inspired by his passion for winemaking and the stunning landscapes of New Zealand, Sam expanded the vineyard holdings and planted several grape varieties, primarily Pinot Noir. The name "Two Paddocks" originates from the two small vineyards that Sam initially purchased, and it reflects his commitment to crafting wines that authentically represent the Central Otago region. Sam Neill actively participates in the winemaking process, reflecting his genuine love for the craft. He has become an influential figure in the New Zealand wine industry, not only for his fame as an actor but also for his remarkable wines.
