Rockburn Central Otago Pinot Noir 2017

“Red fruit with a savoury tone of crushed herbs giving interest and an alluring quality to this wine. Generous round fruit with soft tannins and refreshing acid. Classic example of a Central Pinot Noir, hedonistic aromas, generous round fruit with soft tannins. A lighter styled red wine. This producer is gaining great reviews lately and definitely worth a try.” – Lynnette Hudson, Experienced Winemaker and Advisor
“The 2017 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.” – Rockburn

As always this wine shows classic Rockburn elegance, integrity and balance. Enjoy with friends over the next 4-9 years.
