Description
The 2022 vintage yielded beautiful fruit from each of our sites (Gibbston & Lowburn), which we have simply guided gently through to the bottle with minimal handling. Our “hands-off” approach delivers a pure expression of Central Otago to your glass; an expressive nose and deeply fruited palate displaying vibrant notes of red and black cherry, rich mocha and supple, silky tannins leading into a very long finish. As always this wine shows classic Rockburn elegance, integrity and balance. Enjoy with friends over the next 4-9 years. 100% Pinot Noir. Clones 10/5, 5, 6, Abel, 115, 777
