Rockburn Central Otago Pinot Gris 2023

Grapes for the Rockburn Pinot Gris are hand-picked from Rockburn's two vineyard sites in Parkburn and Gibbston Valley. The Parkburn vineyards lie in the middle of Central Otago Block Mountain ranges, on an old, alluvial terrace, covered by a loam topsoil. The Gibbston Valley vineyard lies on the western side of Central Otago in very mountainous, once glaciated country. Following a philosophy of minimal intervention, the juice from each parcel was fermented in stainless steel on its gross lees at temperatures of 15°C to retain aromatics and finesse. Winemaker Malcolm Rees Francis stopped fermentation at each parcel's perfect level of sugar and acidity balance. The wine was then racked and blended. Ripe peach, nectarine and Nashi pear aromas are backed by a hint of spice and a streak of minerality. The vibrantly fruity off-dry palate is layered over a rich and creamy texture. A firm backbone of acidity leads into very long, zesty finish.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
