Rippon Mature Vine Pinot Noir 2022

Rippon Mature Vine Pinot Noir 2022

• Region: Central Otago
• Sub-Region: Wanaka
• Varieties: Pinot Noir

Vineyard Sourced from Rippon's mature vines overlooking Lake Wanaka, where schist soils, biodynamic farming, and a cool lake-influenced climate combine to produce Pinot Noir with remarkable purity and natural tension. The low-yielding vines are central to the wine's depth and complexity.

Wine A profound and beautifully detailed Pinot Noir with aromas of red cherry, dried rose, wild thyme, and earthy spice. The palate is seamless and finely structured, with silky tannins, bright acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish.
