Description:

From the highest slopes of Gibbston, this seductive Pinot bursts with bright red fruit, lifted herbs, and all wrapped in the cool-climate elegance Central Otago is famous for.

"Fragrant, elegant, complex Pinot Noir with a “peacock’s tail of appealing floral restrained herbal, spice and red berry flavours supported by fine, peppery tannins and gentle acidity. It’s a pleasure to drink now but has a promising future." (96 points) - Bob Campbell

Makers Notes

Situated on the hillside at between 450 and 497 metres of altitude, High Garden is one of the highest vineyards in Gibbston, Central Otago’s coolest sub-region. It has great exposure to long sunshine hours. During the critical ripening month of April, High Garden has sunshine for up to 90 minutes after sunrise before it reaches the bottom of the valley. The vineyard slopes down towards the north, allowing for the free draining of both air, which minimises frost risk, and water; although the vines are now dry land farmed.
Pinot Noir clones 777 and 5.

30% whole-bunch.
Aged 10 months in 25% new French oak.

Unfined and unfiltered. Vegan.

TASTING NOTES

The wine exhibits a beguiling, intense aroma of red primary fruits and dried herbs. This characteristic is unique in the Pinot world, identifying Gibbston immediately. With a deep purple scarlet colour the wine is rich with layers of fine grape tannins in support. The natural fine acids typical of Gibbston are present in the background, giving the wine balance. Fully ripe fruit with a high skin-to-juice ratio gives the wine a fine tannin structure. Capable of development over decades, the 24 High Garden, like all the great Pinots, is delicious now. This vintage further demonstrates the consistency of this warm and sunny, distinguished vineyard site.

Service

Open the bottle just before service at 16 - 18 degrees Celcius.

CELLARING
