After the success of the previous Pinot Noir 2022 Champioship Tasting between Australia and New Zealand, we have decided to push the boat out a bit and offer the same experianace but for Super-Premium Pinots Over $90...
The idea behind this is to eliminate the usual brand baise, pull them from various regions around the world and determine as objectively as we can - who is top of the pops. I will do the same tech stuff ahead of time regarding clones, harvest conditions, soils and altitude which helps in focussing on what attributes shine throw before we vote...
