2024 Rockburn Pinot Noir
Regular price
$300.00
RRP $50
The 2024 vintage yielded beautiful fruit from each of our sites, 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.

95 points (5 stars) Sam Kim for Wine Orbit "This wine is elegant and refined. Its fragrant bouquet features notes of dark cherry, raspberry, clove, violet, and roasted almonds. The palate offers a burst of juicy fruit flavour, a rich, velvety texture, and well-integrated tannins, culminating in a long, smooth finish. Beautifully balanced, showcasing finesse and harmony"
91/100 The Real Review (Stephen Wong MW) - "Perfumed, pretty aromas of black cherry, raspberry and bramble roses are generously seasoned with cinnamon and mocha notes. The fruit-driven palate is light to mid-weight yet tangy and refreshing with a burst of acidity lifting the ripe berry flavours onto the fine bed of dusty tannins. A satisfying earthy olive and dried thyme complexity linger as hints of plum and prune settle into the finish. Enjoy this well-balanced pinot noir over the coming years as it gains more breadth and layers" - 21 Jan 2026
92/100 - James Halliday | Wine Companion 2026 - "A buoyant pinot noir from the strong '24 vintage off Rockburn's Parkburn (85%) and Gibbston Back Road (15%) vineyards. Bright, airy raspberry, redcurrant and red-apple-edged berry fruits with fine spice, a thin layer of biscuity oak, meadow flowers, rose petals, undergrowth and stone. Spacious and stony with a slender palate shape on the finish. - Dave Brookes, Published 02 March 2026
