‘Madam Sass’ is a new Pinot Noir brand of Accolade Wines that comes under the Eon of Bendigo project. The project explores the various facets of the ‘Claim 431’ vineyard sited at Bendigo in Central Otago. To date, the site has given many high quality wines, a number of which have won top awards in judgings and tastings. The Eon of Bendigo Pinot Noirs have shown themselves to be serious, sophisticated and ageworthy. The Madam Sass is a more light-hearted, accessible wine, but made to show the characteristics of the ‘Claim 431; vineyard and the Bendigo sub-region. It is named for the gutsy women who were integral with the Central Otago gold rush era. Here is my review of the wine. www.madamsass.co.nz
