Pinot Noir
The Prophet’s Rock Pinot Noir is sourced exclusively from our Bendigo Vineyard where altitude, climate, fascinating soils and meticulous viticulture combine to produce Pinot Noir with real stature and concentration. Pinot Noir is the largest part of our production and a complete no-compromise obsession.
The foundation for this wine is a focus on delivering low yielding concentrated fruit from the vineyard. In the winery we employ principally traditional old world techniques. The grapes are gently handled and the wines are fermented using only the indigenous yeast from the vineyard. The wines are aged in barrel for 15-18 months before bottling and are cellared before release.
Since the first release in 2005 the Prophet’s Rock Pinot Noir has consistently been one of the best reviewed Pinot Noirs in New Zealand.
