Information
The story of Midalidare is a story of action that turns dreams into reality. Our dream took us to the other side of the world, to a magical place with wonderful nature and exceptional wines – New Zealand. We wanted to try something different and challenging, to improve our skills, to gain new knowledge. Thus, the idea of creating wine abroad was born.
The beautiful Northburn terraces are sited on Lake Dunstan's steep east bank. Tūī bird song embraces the Kōwhai tree overhanging on the slopes above the Stag's Run vineyard. The unforgiving, rocky, glacial soils produce wines with structure and intensity. This single vineyard Pinot Noir is our inspiration for future generations at Midalidare – a seed of the most precious part of Central Otago.

Tasting and serving
Tasting notes: Midalidare New Zealand Central Otago Stag’s Run Pinot Noir reveals aromas of dark cherry, forest berries, and hints of violet waft through the air. The palate, long and concentrated, is dominated by wild plum and dried herbs, while dense tannins weave the balanced and seductive structure with fine French oak hints.
Serving suggestions: The wine pairs well with a wide range of dishes, including game meats, poultry, and roasted vegetables. Its bright acidity and low tannins also make it a good match for fatty fish and rich, creamy sauces. Serve at 13-18°С, in Pinot Noir New World glass (tall stem, tulip shape bowl, slightly flared rim) or regular Red wine glass.
