"When Roberta Manell Montero first tasted pinot noir in Central Otago, she was excited by the explosive fruit in the wine and the dynamic atmosphere of the place. That was back in the mid-1990s when she was selling French oak barrels to winemakers and tasting wines from various barrels with them - something she continues to do. Roberta says "When we came to the area it was all about potential. We were starting to see some great wines and we loved that people would help each other and work together. They embrace the concept that if they all work together they will be successful eventually. There's a sense of sharing in the pinot noir community" - courtesy ODT.
