From one of New Zealand’s most iconic vineyards overlooking Lake Wānaka, Rippon Mature Vines Pinot Noir 2021 is a profound expression of Central Otago terroir. Sourced from bio-dynamically farmed, estate-grown vines, this Pinot is crafted with wild fermentation and minimal intervention. Mature vines (some over 40 years old) bring depth, complexity, and a true sense of place to every bottle.
Bouquet Intensely aromatic with notes of dark cherry, wild raspberry, rose petal, forest floor, and subtle herbal spice.
Palate Silky yet powerful with concentrated dark berry fruit, fine savoury tannins, and a mineral-laced backbone. A vibrant acidity leads into a long, layered finish with incredible purity and texture.
Food Pairing Perfect with venison, lamb, truffle-infused dishes, wild mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses. Also a superb match for duck and gamey meats.
Cellaring Exceptional now but built to age. Will evolve gracefully through to 2035, gaining even greater depth and complexity.
Interesting Fact Rippon’s breathtaking vineyard and dedication to biodynamic farming have created one of New Zealand’s most celebrated wines. With its elegance, complexity, and rare beauty, this is an unforgettable gift for any true Pinot Noir lover.
