The 2009 vintage yielded beautiful fruit from each of our sites, and we have simply guided this fruit gently through to the bottle with minimal handling. Our “hands-off” approach delivers a pure expression of Central Otago to your glass; very deeply fruited with delicate floral tones enhanced by nuances of Earl Grey tea, and supple, lithe tannins leading into a very long finish. As always this wine shows classic Rockburn elegance, integrity and balance.

The 2008 vintage yielded very ripe fruit from each of our sites, and we have simply guided this fruit gently through to the bottle with minimal handling. Our “hands-off” approach delivers a pure expression of Central Otago to your glass; deeply fruited with delicate floral tones enhanced by nuances of liquorice root, and supple, silky tannins leading into a long spicy finish. As always this wine shows classic Rockburn elegance, integrity and balance. Enjoy with friends over the next 5-7 years.

Another wonderfully poised and silky textured pinot from Rockburn with tangy cherry fruit, fragrant florals and a spicy, savoury and slightly smoky undercurrent – NZ Herald, Jo Burzynska Sept 2010

Sweet-fruited red with a fragrant bouquet of cherries, spices and herbs. Finely textured, savoury palate, showing excellent depth, and a velvety finish.
