The 2003 Rockburn Pinot Noir is deep garnet in colour and has a lovely nose dominated by spices and violets. The palate is full of rich, yet subtle black berry fruits with layers of complexity enhanced by fine tannins. The wine displays an elegance and power which lingers long after the last mouthful.

The aroma of the 2006 Pinot Noir is classic Pinot Noir; cherry and raspberry fruits with floral notes whilst the palate shows these characters expanded through barrel aging in new and older French oak.

The 2007 vintage delivered us small, intensely flavoured berries, 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; rich, intense fruits, delicate floral tones enhanced by nuances of wild thyme, and creamy, silky tannins leading into a long mocha finish. As always this wine shows classic Rockburn elegance, integrity and balance. Enjoy with friends over the next 6-8 years.
