  • Red fruit
  • Spices
  • Complex

Dark red, the Gold River Pinot Noir expresses fragrant red and dark fruit aromas, and a complex balance fruit and spice on the palate.

A mix of vineyards from Bendigo (57%), Pisa (32%) and Gibbston (11%).

2020 was a cool Central Otago growing season marked by low crop levels, and crisp, pure fruit. Budburst, flowering and harvest were 7-14 days later than average, with very small berries and bunches. Fruit was harvested in mid-April, with intense vibrant flavours.

Fruit from the three subregions was fermented in small 5 tonne open top fermenters. Typical maceration was 21-24 days before pressing. The wines went through MLF in barrel, and spent 9 months in French oak.

Gibbston Valley is not doubt a power house in Pinot Noir and this is a great value entry point.
