Lowburn Ferry Vineyard is planted 100% in pinot noir, an approximately equal mix of clones 115, 5, 667, 777, with a small area of the Abel clone. The vineyard is established on terraces that were in pasture for more than 100 years. The healthy soils have excellent biological activity which enhances the terroir of the site. Central Otago has a cool and dry continental climate and features large diurnal temperature differentials and a warm ripening period through autumn these climatic factors are ideal for ripening the fickle pinot noir grape, and our vineyard is dedicated solely to its production.
Taut, fine-grained pinot noir in a slightly edgy style with red cherry, violet, fresh herb and spicy flavours supported by fine, peppery tannins. The wine opened up as it sat in the glass and deserves to be aerated. Should develop well in bottle. 03 SEP 2020 Drink 2020–2025
