- Unfiltered & unfined
"Pure fruited, complex, youthful, varietal and very seductive. Floral and fresh, aromas of red cherry and sweet raspberry, layers of dried herbs, wild red flowers, a schist or rocky eath quality then barrel spices of cinnamon and clove with some vanilla highlights. Delicious on the palate though also very taut and youthful as well. Firm tannins and plenty of acidity lay down the foundation with a core of red berry fruits and spices to reflect the bouquet and ensure concentration for bottle development. Delicious, new and complex. Best dirking from 2023 through 2030+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jun 2022
"From a 20 year-old vineyard planted on the highest and one of the warmest sites in Gibbston, one of Central Otago's coolest sub-regions. Fragrant, floral wine with bright violet, cherry and fresh herb flavours. Dense yet supple wine with appealing power and purity" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jun 2022
From a sun drenched site high up on a north facing slope in Gibbston comes this ethereal yet powerful Pinot Noir. Aromas of red fruits cherries and raspberries with a wild herbal edge, are followed by a rich and satisfying palate. A multi layered wine with a firm backbone of mouthwatering mineral acidity, which goes on and on. With the balance and depth to develop over many years in bottle the wine is already delicious as a youngster on release, demonstrating the heights Pinot Noir can achieve on a warm site, with low yields in Gibbston.
