Here at Rockburn, we’re 100% committed to quality. We’re dedicated to producing superior reserve wines, reflecting the superb regional character, creating a pure expression of Central Otago in your glass!

Vinification was done in 7-tonne fermenters, with 1 to 4 days of initial maceration; and primary fermentation over 1 week with daily plunging, followed by post-fermentation maceration for another 10-14 days. The elevage took 10 months in French oak; 33% of which were new, and 18% were 1-year-old barrels

The 2019 vintage yielded beautiful fruit from each of our sites, which we have simply guided gently through to the bottle with minimal handling. Our hands-off approach delivers a pure expression of Central Otago to your glass; an expressive nose and deeply fruited palate displaying vibrant notes of red and black cherry. The palate offers rich mocha and supple, silky tannins leading into a very long finish. As always this wine shows classic Rockburn elegance, integrity, and balance. Cellaring is advised, optimally for 4-9 years.
