Rockburn Pinot Noir 2024 (6 Bottles) Central Otago

by Hancocks 0 orders

$230.00

Rockburn Pinot Noir 2024 is crafted by Rockburn Wines in Central Otago, drawing on fruit from selected vineyards that capture the region’s continental climate and schist-rich soils. This is a refined and expressive Pinot Noir, opening with aromas of red cherry, dark plum and wild berry, layered with subtle floral notes, gentle spice and a hint of mocha. The palate is medium bodied and finely structured, showing supple, silky tannins balanced by bright natural acidity. Ripe red and dark fruit flavours are framed by restrained oak, savoury nuance and a quiet mineral line that carries through the finish. The style is polished and approachable while retaining depth and definition. Rockburn Pinot Noir reflects a thoughtful balance of fruit purity and regional character. Drinking well on release, it will continue to develop added complexity over the next four to nine years, rewarding both near-term enjoyment and careful cellaring.

About Rockburn Wines

Rockburn Wines is a distinguished producer based in Central Otago, New Zealand, the world’s most southerly commercial wine region. Their vineyards lie across key sub-regions (notably Gibbston Valley and Parkburn) where the continental climate, with hot, dry summers, cold winters and dramatic diurnal shifts plus well-draining, schist-rich soils provide ideal conditions for producing expressive wines.

Winemaking at Rockburn emphasises gentle handling, minimal intervention and a focus on varietal and terroir purity. Their portfolio centres on Pinot Noir, but also includes whites such as Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc, all shaped by Central Otago’s unique terroir and climate.

Rockburn has built a strong reputation for producing wines with clarity, balance and sense of place. Their Pinot Noirs, in particular, are recognised for elegant structure, refined fruit and mineral-driven complexity, wines that can be approachable in youth yet have considerable ageing potential.

Overall, Rockburn Wines offers a consistent, terroir-driven portfolio: wines that reflect the rugged beauty and climatic specificity of Central Otago, versatile enough for everyday enjoyment yet refined enough for cellar-worthy moments.

The Hancocks name traces its origins back to 1859 when Thomas Hancock purchased the Captain Cook Inn in Khyber Pass Road Newmarket. Hancocks originally started life as a brewer and publican.

The company went through many changes in its first 100 years, including the manufacture and distribution of spirits. Over the course of years the company changed names several times with the core of the company being the basis of what we now know as Lion.
