Central Otago, New Zealand. Felton Road assistant winemaker Malcolm Rees-Francis
joined Rockburn in 2005 ready for the 2006 vintage. Since he has crafted
some of the finest pinot to come from the Otago area and this vintage
is a classic, layered complex beauty and with quantity
discounts, seriously great value and a must for any pinotphile.
The
2022 vintage yielded beautiful fruit from each of their sites, which
they have simply guided gently through to the bottle with minimal
handling. Their "hands-off” approach delivers a pure expression of
Central Otago to your glass; an expressive nose and deeply fruited
palate displaying vibrant notes of boysenberry, black cherry and mocha,
and supple, silky tannins leading into a very long finish. As always
this wine shows classic Rockburn elegance, integrity and balance. Enjoy
now or over the next 5-7 years.
