Prophet’s Rock Cuvee aux Antipodes Pinot Noir 2023 750ml
Only
$129.00
"This wine is a collaboration between Prophet’s Rock winemaker Paul Pujol and esteemed French winemaker François Millet from Chambolle-Musigny, Burgundy. Former winemaker at Comte George de Vogüé for 35 vintages, François continues to make wine in Burgundy with his family under ‘François Millet et Fils’ and with us in New Zealand. Since the first release in 2015, this wine has been sourced exclusively from the same parcel on our small Home Vineyard site up in the hills of the Bendigo sub- region, Central Otago.
Bright ruby in colour, the complex nose unfolds slowly with dusty boysenberry, deep rose florals, dried herbs, and forest-floor notes. The palate shows red fruits including cherry, blood orange, violets, and anise notes. The palate has real presence without being heavy; a frame of fine tannin carries the flavours elegantly to a very long finish. This wine demands time to explore, and decanting is recommended for full expression.
With food, this vintage marries well with game birds, lamb and venison dishes; the presence and brightness will highlight rather than dominate the cuisine.
Cellaring: Decant for full expression in its youth and cellar with confidence for 10+ years from vintage."
Alc 12.5%
