The Ferryman is a passionate expression of the special terroir of Lowburn Ferry Vineyard. Selected vines are carefully managed during the growing season; the wine is fermented separately with extended barrel ageing, to produce this special reserve pinot noir wine - crafted only in exceptional vintages.
The Ferryman is a passionate expression of the special terroir of Lowburn Ferry Vineyard. Selected vines are carefully managed during the growing season to produce this special reserve wine crafted only in exceptional vintages (haven’t seen a bottle of it since 2010 vintage.).
Estate-grown at Lowburn, in Central Otago, this is the producer’s flagship red, made only in top vintages. Hand-harvested and matured for over a year in French oak barriques (29 per cent new), the lovely 2013 vintage (5*) is powerful, but very approachable.
Deep ruby, it is attractive perfumed and highly concentrated, with an array of cherry, plum, spice, dried-herb and nut flavours, finely poised, savoury and smooth.
Medium-full bodied, the palate is full, rich, rounded and open with lusciously ripe fruit flavours of dark red and black berried fruits, along with spicy dark plums and waves of violet florals, licorice, herbs and minerals., it should be at its best from 2017-2025.
