“Really much more Burgundian than New Zealand” – Jancis Robinson
Prophet’s Rock was first planted in 1999 in what is a breathtaking part of Bendigo in the Cromwell Basin, in Central Otago. Unlike the majority of the vineyards in this region which sit on the valley floor their vineyards are planted on steep slopes facing North. Paul Pujol is the winemaker since the first vintage in 2005 and has spent the off season over the last 4 years working in France at both Alsace for Kuentz-Bar and Comte de Vogue in Burgundy so has a superb grounding in aromatic textured whites and one of the greatest expressions of Pinot Noir.
About this wine from the winemaker: “This vibrant and structured Pinot Noir is from our ridiculously steep and very rocky vineyard on the north-facing slopes above Lake Dunstan. The grapes from this low-yielding vintage were handpicked, wild-fermented in small lots and aged in French oak barrels for 10 months.
Always a very perfumed Pinot Noir, this wine has fine tannins and an elegant profile making it a great food wine and a great candidate for further cellaring.”
