Our Devil’s Staircase wines are inspired by the winding road leading from Queenstown to Kingston along the shores of Lake Wakatipu.Sourced from several Central Otago vineyards, the Devil’s Staircase Pinot Noir takes the willing down into the realm of decadence and Bacchanalian delights. Here, everything is pleasure spiced up with a bit of naughty.
The unrelenting Central Otago environment tortures the vines whose twisted limbs produce a wine worthy of absolution; strong and sensual with lashings of dark fruit, sinfully succulent and devilishly good.
The flavours are practically immoral, full of black Doris plums, blueberries and bramble fruit, and will leave you with an insatiable desire for more.
Joelle Thomson - 17.5/20 | 2026 Devil’s Staircase Pinot Noir, Central Otago "A light bodied and approachable expression of Central Otago Pinot Noir, this wine emphasises purity of fruit over power. Bright red cherry, raspberry and plum notes lead the way, supported by gentle spice and smooth tannins. Juicy, vibrant and refreshingly crunchy on the finish, it captures the freshness that makes the region’s Pinot Noir so appealing. Serve lightly chilled to highlight its lively fruit. At $30, this young, light bodied Pinot Noir hints at complexity in each refreshing sip."
