Wooing Tree is a Central Otago specialist Pinot Noir producer with 17 ha of Pinot Noir vines in clones 5, 6, 115, 667 and 777. The owners, the Farquharson and Bews families have a little Chardonnay and source some Pinot Gris fruit under contract. However, being Pinot Noir predominant has seen Wooing Tree diversify its wines. There are three tiers of Pinot Noir table wine, a rosé and a blush wine-blanc de noir called ‘Blondie’ that has near cult status. The other Pinot Noir expression is ‘Tickled Pink’, a late harvest bottling, which has garnered a strong following. Here, I review the new 2018 ‘Tickled Pink’. www.wooingtree.co.nz
