Rockburn's minimal handling approach delivers a pure Central Otago expression, An expressive nose and deeply- fruited palate display vibrant notes of succulent cherry, rich mocha and silky tannins, signing off with a very long finish. Brilliant consistency and a remarkable pedigree.

"Taking fruit from their Parkburn and Gibbston sites, with minimal handling, aiming for what makes up that classic Central Otago Pinot expression. A vibrant nose showing dark cherry, damson, rosehip, thyme and lilac florals. Rich and concentrated dark fruit with a delightful savoury element too – tapenade, espresso bean and mushroom. Tannin is supple, fine and tight, providing an excellent foil to that juicy, lush fruit. Balanced acidity gives drive and the wine flows beautifully across the palate. Warm spices punctuate the long, opulent finish. A treat, once again".  95 Points - Wine Folio, David Walker Bell (May '22)
