This past week saw the first bins of Pinot Noir arriving at the Rockburn Winery from our Parkburn Vineyard. It was all hands on deck with winemakers Malcolm Rees-Francis and Matt Swirtz getting fruit destemmed and into tank, while Cellar Door Manger Alex Crone made sure all the bins were power washed and ready for pick up and headed back to the vineyard.
Malcolm commented that the 777 Pinot Noir was looking very good. The summer season in Central Otago has been relatively cool, so we're expecting a lovely purity of fruit flavour from the 2026 vintage.
