Central Otago has quickly established itself as ground zero for Pinot Noir in New Zealand-in the words of Jancis Robinson, "many believe this is where the Pinot grail is to be found".
97 points - Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review
""Fragrant, dense wine with cassis, blackcurrant, dark chocolate and nutty oak flavours. Impressive, attention-grabbing wine that envelopes the senses. Clearly from a favourable vintage and with obvious cellaring potential.""94 points - James Suckling
""Beautiful and fruity with ripe strawberries, some dark cherries and dried flowers that follow through to a full body with medium velvety tannins and a delicious finish. Very curated and poised. Sustainable. Drink now."""94 points - The Wine Front
""A really unique site in Bendigo, Prophet’s Rock is an impressive place to visit. Been a while, but. Very minerally, firm and structured. Indeed, despite the dark berry, cherry, mocha and fennel characters, this really is more about crushed rock, slate and granitic mineral characters in abundance. A firm skeleton first, tannins in a tight, silty web, the wine feels draped in its fruit and spice character hanging on those bones. Lovely in that way and one for the future more than now. Impressive.""
