5 stars - Sam kim, Wine Orbit
93 points & rated ‘Excellent’ - Cameron Douglas MS
4.5 stars - The Wine Writer
4 stars - Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews

This ever popular label is super quaffable and easy drinking in style..

Winery note
"The continental Central Otago climate is one of extremes – the fiercely cold nights and long, warm summer days allow the black queen to display pure, vibrant fruit. From a vineyard in the Bendigo sub-region, the fruit was hand harvested from traditional Pinot Noir clones 5, 115 and 777. The wine was hand plunged with 8% whole bunch before being aged in predominately mature French oak barrels. Tasting notes: With dark purple hues, this savoury pinot noir releases lifted aromas of raspberry and dark cherry with hints of iodine and black olive. The palate is full of kirsch cherry and cassis flavours, umami, liquorice and a sprinkling of dried herbs. A focussed frame and crunchy tannins contribute to a glossy mouth feel and a slightly peppery finish. Pair with chargrilled meats and game dishes."

Carrick (Central Otago) 2019 Bannockburn Pinot Noir

5 Stars - Candice Chow. Raymond Chan Wine reviews,

Carricks' estate Pinot Noir is always a treat and always consistent.
Winery description
"The Bannockburn Pinot Noir is Carrick's flagship wine, and the wine that we feel best represents the strong connection we have with our site. Known for its structure and ability to age well over a long period of time, the fruit is hand-picked from several vineyard parcels that are entirely grown on their own roots and are the oldest vines we have on the property. Now 25 years old. The 2019 growing season was slow to start with a cold, wet spring, followed by a warmer than average summer, yields came in on average and the numerous rain events were followed by wind, resulting in fruit arriving in good condition."

Carrick (Central Otago) 2021 Unravelled Pinot Noir

94 Points - Cameron Douglas MS

This wine displays lots of vibrant fruit from red cherry, raspberry to blackberries with a hint of spice underneath. The front palate is packed with sweet bright fruit with the same red cherries and blackberries on the nose following through to the flavours. The soft tannins give this wine lovely mid-palate weight with a dark cocoa finish. This is a vibrant, fruit driven wine that can be cellared or enjoyed in its youth.

Gibbston Valley (Central Otago) 2021 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 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 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."

Martinborough Vineyard (Martinborough) 2021 Te Tera Pinot Noir

93 Points - Cameron Douglas, MS

One of the most popular 2nd tier Pinots around. Worth every cent and always over delivers.

Winery notes
"Te Tera vineyards typically range from 8 – 23 years old and are located within the premium Martinborough growing appellation. Te Tera literally translates from Maori as "The Other.” These wines embody a more youthful, approachable style

Te Tera is made from a selection of  quality home-grown fruit. The resulting wine shows the expertise of an estate that was first to plant Pinot in Martinborough. Ripe and savoury but with nice freshness, this is a serious drop to decant now or age a while... if you can"

Maude (Central Otago) 2022 EMW Pinot Noir

Winery description

"A celebration of two blocks of mature Pinot Noir from the Mt Maude Vineyard. As the name suggests, the blocks face opposite directions. Made in a different style - 100% whole cluster, clone 10-5, often only one pigaege during the ferment - definitely a unique winemaking twist on Pinot production. A bewitching perfume, paler in colour yet full, luscious and complex. Love it or hate it, this Pinot Noir certainly creates some debate."
