Rockburn Pinot Noir 2007

Rockburn takes its name from the rugged, rock-strewn, burnt landscape of Central Otago. The region is renowned for its stunning scenery of rugged mountains and picturesque lakes. Nestled on the 45th parallel it shares a climate that is similar to Burgundy, the great Pinot Noir producing region of the world.

It won 2 Trophies and Gold, including Champion Red Wine at the 2008 Air New Zealand Awards…Sixteen international and local judges including Chairman of the Judges, Steve Smith MW (Craggy Range), have expressed that "a Pinot Noir such as this can only come from one place in the world, Central Otago. Very distinctive and open aromas of red cherry, plum and wild thyme notes are enticing and quite complex. The palate is likewise open juicy and forward but becomes quite serious and long with lovely fine tannins and dried herb and earth notes. Beautiful fruit extremely well crafted."

It also picked up Gold at the San Francisco International Wine Competition, Gold at the NZ International Wine Show and Liquorland Top 100. It was also awarded 5 stars in NZ's Cuisine magazine and Gourment Travellers Wine mag.
