Rockburn Crimson Peak Central Otago Pinot Noir 2024

Description

Cherry, Oak, Plum

"A cracking pinot noir from the '24 vintage that picked up a double gold medal at the 2025 New Zealand International Wine Show and represents some serious value for money! Bright macerated raspberry and dark cherry fruit cut with hints of exotic spice, dried citrus rind, leaf litter and dried meaty nibs. Juicy raspberry fruit leads the charge here, with silty tannins and a real sense of drinking joy. It’s delicious" Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion

Crimson Peak's velvety texture, envelops the senses and delivers smooth, seamless aromatics and mouthfeel with notes of ripe plum, succulent black cherry, and subtle hints of integrated oak, creating a complex and well-balanced wine. Drinking well on release, will develop and age well over the next 6-8 years
