2005 Gibbston Valley Pinot Noir

Colour: Vibrant Bright Ruby
Nose: Lifted red berry fruits entwined with exotic perfumed spice notes. Very seductive and generous.
Mouth: Supple, concentrated, and very textural upon entry. Perfectly balanced acidity and very fine tannin structure support the wines richness. It has great length of flavour, with red berry, tamarillo and spice carried all the way through the palate. This is classic Gibbston Pinot Noir showing the finesse, elegance, and length that makes Burgundy famous.

Wine Spectator Reviews
90 Points - Valli Gibbston Central Otago Pinot Noir 2005

Offers up fragrant, lithe array of cinnamon, black plum, cherry and fresh herb flavors. Cedary oak and a solid structure shape the intense finish with lingering minerality. Drink now through 2010.

 

2004 Waitaki Pinot Noir

The Waitaki Valley is New Zealand's newest and potentially most exciting Pinot Noir producing region. Located inland North Otago on limestone soils, this wine shows the Waitaki is already producing complex savoury Pinot Noirs that reflect their origin.

2003 Gibbston Valley Pinot Noir

This classic Gibbston Pinot Noir has a perfumed floral, spice and dried herb nose. In the mouth it has the region's hallmarks of finesse, power and great lengths of flavours. The inherent fine tannin structure of Gibbston makes the wines extremely enjoyable when young as well as giving them aging potential.

2003 Bannockburn Pinot Noir

Our Bannockburn Pinot Noir has cherry/red plum fruit and savoury spice notes on the nose. It has the region's characteristic supple sensuous mouth feel with powerful fruit sweetness. The great persistence of flavours and ripe tannins framing this wine should give it an aging potential of at least 10 years.
