Breaking bread with E’sensual

In the bleak midwinter, in Central Otago, the wine producers of the fair province of Otago hold a smaller celebration, E’sensual, devoted naturally to Pinot.

This year, Two Paddocks along with our Earnscleugh colleagues at Three Miners and Grasshopper Rock, hosted a breakfast and tasting at TPHQ on the Saturday, 28th July.

This was an opportunity to evaluate how our Alexandra subregion differentiates from the rest of Central, and what quality abounds (we think).

An international line up of good sorts, in the main sommeliers, had a couple of hours with us and very welcome they were too. We await their verdict of what they thought of our wines.

Present: Julianna Bossini Tudgey, Luke Dallow, Dan Wards, Conrad Banks, Nicola Davies, Stephen Wong, Ian Isaacs (New Zealand), Tony Harper, Penny Grant, Jackson Watson, Josh Fraser, Sarah Limacher (Australia), Rebecca Leung, Hugo Cheng (Hong Kong), Khan Cha (Thailand), Jan Rosborn (Sweden), plus Phil from Grasshopper Rock and Jeff from Three Miners.
