Tasting Note

This Pinot Noir bursts with flavours of black plum, blueberries and dark cherry. Rich, smooth and fruity on the palate, with supple tannins and a very moreish finish. This is devilishly good.

Producer

Rockburn started as the hobby of Richard Bunton in 1991. He planted a few hectares of vineyard in the then pretty much unknown area of Central Otago. In 2005, Malcolm Rees-Francis the winemaker, arrived from Felton Road where his skills immediately reaped the rewards when he won the Elite Gold Medal and the Young Antipodean Winemaker of the Year award. Following an ecological philosophy, the vines are sustainably cultivated and the estate holds the Sustainable Wines of New Zealand certification. This is a very exciting new arrival on the world Pinot Noir stage; quite simply Rockburn is one of the very best producers of Pinot Noir in New Zealand.
