This wine is what Neudorf Pinot is all about. Cocoa powder tannins are interwoven with notes of summer berries, warm spices and seductive leather. Tom’s natural “Moutereness” offers a sophisticated restraint, keeping this lush and moreish wine beautifully balanced. Thoughtful use of oak frames this Pinot brilliantly without commanding the experience, leading into a long, velvet finish.

Bishop is the family name of Colin’s wife’ Judith. Fittingly the sign of Venus, a symbol which has come to represent women and feminine energy, is the centrepiece of the Bishop label. In mythology, the symbol meant the Roman goddess Venus or her Greek equivalent Aphrodite. But the sign has also been linked back to ancient Egypt – a nod to Bishop’s link to Amon-Ra and Anaperenna.
