Description
The Gibbston Valley Reserve Pinot Noir 2021 is a testament to the exceptional quality and dedication of one of Central Otago's pioneering wineries. Alan Brady's vision of growing grapes in this rugged, snow-capped region has not only succeeded but thrived, producing a Pinot Noir that is nothing short of extraordinary. The 2021 vintage is no exception, showcasing the best of what this unique terroir can offer.
This Reserve Pinot Noir is a vibrant, deep ruby color, hinting at the richness within. On the nose, it reveals intense dark fruit characters with notes of blackberry, black cherry, and a touch of earthy complexity. The palate is full and voluptuous, offering a seamless texture and layered flavors of dark fruit, spice, and subtle oak influence. The wine’s powerful presence is balanced by its silky, soft tannins and a long, satisfying finish.
Crafted from low-yielding rows in select vineyard sites and aged for 11 months in French oak barriques (22% new), this Pinot Noir captures the essence of its Central Otago origin. The 2021 vintage benefits from a balanced growing season, leading to a wine that is both concentrated and nuanced. Ideal for aging, this Reserve Pinot Noir is a standout choice for those seeking a high-quality, cellar-worthy wine that will develop and evolve beautifully over the next two decades.
