Here at Rockburn we deal not only with fruit from our own exceptional sites, but also from select vineyards located around the many and varied sub-regions of Central Otago. Once-in-a-while the nuances of site and season conspire to generate fruit of exceptional character, far too interesting to blend away and we choose instead to bottle this as a single vineyard expression of terroir distinct from our estate bottlings.
The Chosen Pinot Noir 2018 is sourced from a Gibbston vineyard, displays qualities of plum, blackcurrant and tea leaf, and features a plush texture and firm tannin length. As a vegan wine, it contains no animal fining products, which is a result of our commitment to minimal intervention when producing our exemplary Pinot Noirs. Crafted for immediate enjoyment, this is a rare single vineyard wine which is ready to drink now, or cellar if you choose!
