Pinot Noir from New Zealand - Central Otago & Waitaki
Review Date : 18-Jun-2025
Deep crimson, even colour throughout. The nose is soft, with aromas of black plum, boysenberry, thyme and spice. Medium-full bodied, aromas of black plum and boysenberry entwined with thyme, cinnamon and black pepper. The fruit shows purity and a gentle body, fresh acidity carrying layered spice, along with a silky yet firm grip, providing structure and mouthfeel. This youthful Parkburn Pinot Noir shows purity and potential. Match with roasted lamb and pork shoulder over the next 6+ years. Fruit from Pisa sub-region, clone 777, 7-tonne fermenter, 8 days cold soaked, fermented over a week, then 10 days post ferment maceration, aged 14 months in French oak, 9% new oak. 13.5% alc. 18.5/20 pts (93 pts) Jun 2025 RRP $99
