Rockburn Wines | Premium Wines from Central Otago

A Pure Expression of Central Otago

Q&A with Rockburn Winemaker, Malcolm Rees-Francis

He calls a spade a spade, likes a dry, restorative gin and soda and occasionally photographs wild flowers.

New Release: Rockburn Pinot Noir 2021

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.

95/100 & 5 Stars: Rockburn Pinot Noir 2021

"Gorgeously composed and stylish, showing sweet cherry, green olive, warm mushroom and fragrant spice aromas, it's concentrated on the palate offering excellent fruit purity and silky flow. Wonderfully framed by fine supple tannins, finishing impressively long and refined."

Recent Reviews

highly approachable wine, with deep, youthful cherry, plum and spice flavours, showing excellent complexity and harmony.
Michael Cooper, 2021 Pinot Noir

Off-dry in a medium style with contrasting acidity and a core of fruit showcasing meyer lemon, peach and white fleshed tree fruit. Salivating, juicy and delicious.
Cameron Douglas MS | 2017 Tigermoth Riesling

This crisp, dry-ish Pinot Gris possesses lush fruit and spice with a refreshing, moreish finish.
