Gibbston Valley (Central Otago) 2022 China Terrace Pinot Noir

Gold Medal – NZ Organic Wine Awards 2022
 
Winery notes 
"Gently fragrant red and dark fruits mix with anise and spice on the nose. The palate is light, showcasing attractive flecks of red fruit with shimmering sappy minerals. The wine’s grace and natural delicacy are offset by its very long finish. Beguiling and worth taking time over. Beautiful drinking for the next 5 years.

Drawing from Gibbston Valley’s most intriguing vineyards, the Single Vineyard range gives full voice to site. Planted in 2001, the China Terrace Vineyard is located in the Bendigo subregion. Gently sloped and north facing, it has 4 clones of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay planted over some 7 hectares. Being over 320m, it retains a coolness relative to Bendigo’s natural warmth. This, and the complex accumulation of loess, clay and schist in its soil, gives wines of fresh, bright complexity. China Terrace Pinot Noir was harvested ten days later than the lower altitude Bendigo sites. The fruit was in great condition at low sugar levels. We incorporated a range of whole cluster and maceration times, from 14-28 days, depending on the extent of whole cluster, into the ferments. The wine was pressed to barrel for 10 months, with 20% new oak used. The final blend has 33% whole cluster overall."

Gibbston Valley (Central Otago) 2022 Glenlee Pinot Noir

"Glenlee is a Pinot Noir that comes from a vineyard of one man’s dreams. Californian visionary Gary Andrus has passed on, but his belief in close planting Burgundian principles results in a vineyard legacy: low crops of intense fruit – and sore knees for anyone who works there! The wine is a thrilling expression of site and method." Christopher Keys, Winemaker

Gibbston Valley (Central Otago) 2022 GV Pinot Noir

90 Points -  Robert Parker 
"The blended 2018 GV Collection Pinot Noir comes primarily from Bendigo and carries higher alcohol (14.1%) than any of the other 2018 Pinots. It's ripe and rich, with a slightly roasted character to its cherry and raspberry fruit. Dried leaves rustle around the edges, bringing a slightly tannic, drying sensation to the wine's finish."

5 vineyard blend, 3 Bendigo, 1 Pisa, 1 Gibbston.

Hand picked, multiple fermenters with 30% whole cluster. 

10 months in French oak, 20% new.

As pioneers of the Central Otago wine region, Gibbston Valley has been handcrafting premium wine for more than three decades. The GV Collection exemplifies the winery's quality-focused, innovative spirit. Classically shaped from select vineyards, the wines are harmonious, elegant collectables.

Gibbston Valley (Central Otago) 2022 School House Pinot Noir

95 Points - Stephen Wong, Wine Sentience
95 points - Cameron Douglas MS

Winery description
"All clones were separated into multiple small batch fermentations. With the cool vintage and very low berry count, no whole clusters were included. The fruit’s natural intensity allowed a very gentle cap management to be employed. Following indigeneous fermentation, the wine was pressed to barrel (20% new), where it remained for 10 months before bottling. Typically alluring nose, darker violets and crushed red petal. The palate begins with a demurely lush textural expansion, before snapping through a svelte mid, and strikingly mineral finish. The 2020 School House Pinot Noir will cellar comfortably for 5-10 years."
