TWO PADDOCKS 2011 PINOT NOIR MAGNUM CHARITY ITEM As a special first Lot in our Dicorvery Series auction, Webb’s is pleased to offer a special Two Paddocks 2011 Pinot Noir Magnum to raise funds for the restoration of the Mitimiti Church in memory of Ralph Hotere in Mitimiti, Northland. This rare item is signed and decorated by Grahame Sydney and is part of a small edition of 12 bottles, each decorated with a collaborative artwork by Grahame Sydney and Sam Neill. The proceeds of the sale will be donated to Te Whanau Aroha Club Inc, which is renovating the church in Mitimiti. This vintage, an estate grown, barrel selection from the three small Neill family vineyards in Central Otago, is hand crafted using traditional methods, including a 25% whole bunch wild fermentation and hand plunging. The wine is then matured in French barriques for 11 months, using a mix of older and new (25%) barrels. With tasting notes of black fruit aromatics, spice and drive and a gorgeous lithe texture. Feminine in nature, great persistence and a lingering finish. WEBB’S DISCOVERY SERIES 7

Once accepted by the vendor a contract has been formed. 13. SALES POST AUCTION OR BY PRIVATE TREATY.
