The story of Mt Difficulty Roaring Meg P/N

Roaring Meg is the second label of Mt Difficulty, a winery in Bannockburn, Central Otago. It grew out of the early 1990s, when the owners of newly planted vineyards south of the Kawarau River shook hands on making wine together under one name. Mt Difficulty Wines Ltd was formed in 2004, and the vineyards passed largely into company ownership.

The name comes from a stream in Central Otago's gold rush past, and the label is the approachable side of the range, made from Central Otago Pinot Noir and matured in French oak. It is a medium-bodied dry red with a plush texture and silky tannins, and it is made to be enjoyed while young.

In the glass you get red cherry, blackberry and strawberry, with baking spice and a savoury, herbal edge. The bottle is sealed with a screwcap.

At the table it suits duck, lamb and pork. Roast pork, duck confit and mushroom risotto are all good matches for its soft tannins and berry fruit.
