Tasting Note

In the Olearia glass, the wine is lighter in colour and more mineral on the nose, with graphite, dried bay leaf, hints of scratched licorice, cracked white peppercorns and pomegranate molasses. In the mouth, the wine is silky and restrained, with fruit, yes but tannins most clearly. This is gritty and chalky at once, with a mineral splay of texture through the finish—the tannins drag the flavour through the long finish. Very impressive wine here. - Erin Larkin (The Wine Advocate) 94+ Points

Product Notes

Prophet's Rock Olearia Pinot Noir is an opulent New Zealand wine offering a symphony of red fruit and spice on the palate. Its beautiful ruby hue gives way to notes of black cherry and wild thyme. Elegant, with a firm tannin structure, this well-crafted Pinot Noir displays the favourable characteristics of ageing in French oak barrels. Lingering flavours reveal a hint of earthy minerality, reflecting the rugged Central Otago region from which the grapes hail. A wonderfully complex wine, Prophet's Rock Olearia Pinot Noir delivers a seamless balance between fruit intensity and classically structured elegance.
