ROCKBURN

Rockburn have a winning way with Pinot Noir, honed over decades of absorbing the lessons of their searingly austere landscape and its idiosyncracies. There is no doubt that Central Otago and its extremes have charmed the enigmatic variety and made it feel at home, but it nonetheless takes fastidious attention to detail along with a hands-off, 'let the terroir do the talking' approach by chief winemaker Malcolm Re-es-Francis and his team to produce these masterful wines.

The fruit is hand-harvested off the company's Parkburn and Gibbston Valley vineyards. Each site contributes its own unique characteristics that provide the winemaking team with a palette of distinctive flavour profiles. Rockburn's outstanding record is not confined to their headlining Pinot Noir, but extends throughout the entire portfolio. At Glengarry, we've been championing Rockburn's wines from its inception back in 1991. What has always impressed us is the high standard and sheer consistency, year after year, that these wines continue to display. So yes, we're big fans.
