Gibbston Valley Gold River Central Otago Pinot Noir 2022
"Sweetly ripe and fragrant, the wine shows dark cherry, plum, rich floral, clove and toasted almond characters. The palate is equally appealing with succulent fruit intensity, combined with rounded mouthfeel and fine-grained tannins, making it soothing and tasty. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2024
Deeply coloured, the Gold River Pinot Noir expresses fragrant red and dark fruit aromas, and an intense array of fruit and spice on the palate. Designed for immediate enjoyment but will comfortably handle 3-5 years in the cellar.
Gold River wines are handpicked, handcrafted expressions of Central Otago that offer immediate drinking pleasure.
Fruit comes from our Bendigo , Pisa and Gibbston sites. Handpicked, small batch fermented, and barrel aged in French oak, the Gold River Pinot Noir offers exceptional quality and character regionality at a good price.
2022 was an excellent growing season. Whilst an early budburst and some particularly cold spring nights had the region on edge, warm days and regular rainfall ensured healthy canopy establishment and early flowering across all subregions. Crop loads were moderate precluding the need for thinning; most summer work went into opening canopies up, exposing fruit during a warm wet and wild January. The weather improved from February onwards, warm dry conditions prevailed into harvest. March conditions were beautiful; classic Central Otago, allowing a gradual ease into ripeness.
