Land that was once a high country sheep station is now a flourishing vineyard. Sheep and rabbits co-existed on the land for quite some time but the sheep couldn't keep up with the nocturnal activity of the rabbits, and in the end were driven off the land. Rabbits now run free on the vineyard and fuelled by high altitude Pinot Noir, some are reputed to be the size of ponies, but that's another story... The Rabbit Ranch Pinot Noir is made in a very soft, fruit forward, low tannin style - a wine to be savoured and supped, rather than an assault on the senses.

On the palate, there fruity sensations of red fruits, plums and peaches, coupled with a characteristic acidity.

Intense fruit flavours reminiscent of red berries, violets and liquorice. There is good structure on the palate, its well-rounded with fruity sensations and a long aftertaste.
