A New Zealand benchmark from Lake Wanaka in Central Otago. The farm voice of a distinct parcel of land: Rippon. The north-facing escarpment forms the meeting point of terminal moraines and coarse gravels, all based in schist, on which some of the region's earliest vines were planted.

Rippon "Rippon" Mature Vine Pinot Noir 2022
Reviews
James Suckling (JamesSuckling.com): 97/100. Deeply fragrant and perfumed, this offers aromas of wild strawberries, dark cherries, violets, lead pencil and potpourri. The refined and pure palate has finely integrated tannins, bright acidity and a generous texture, giving notes of raspberries, blood oranges, forest floor and bark. Firmly structured with a savory undertone. Pure sophistication, showing a soft touch in the vineyard and winery. Drink or hold.
Tasting note
Layers of softly silky, mineral-edged flavours of strawberries, rasberries, cherries are nuanced with spice and herbal and floral notes. Medium-bodied, pure and detailed on the palate with fine-grained tannins that lead to the long, sustained finish.

Vineyard site: Lake Wanaka, Central Otago, New Zealand. Rippon, the west boad of Roy's Bay, Lake Wanaka. Rippon's north-facing escarpment forms the meeting point of terminal moraines and coarse gravels; all based in schist. Rippon, a wine issued from all of the fully developed Pinot Noir vines, is considered the farm voice of this distinct parcel of land.Winemaking:
Picked by hand into small, 10kg cases allowing the fruit to arrive at
the winery's sorting table undamaged and intact.This wine represents many small parcels of different clones, vine ages and
micro-sites within a single Vineyard: Rippon. They were picked and fermented separately in 2-tonne
stainless-steel fermenters.
Each parcel is fermented and matured apart before blending. The winery's resident yeast population (non-inoculated) completed cuvaison in 1-23 days. The ferments reached
maximum temperatures of 15-32°C Celsius.
Total time of skin contact: 18-23 days depending on parcel.
9 months of new (21%) to 4 year old French oak barrels. The malolactic fermentation went through unaided (non-inoculated) in springtime; it was then racked back into barrel and allowed a second winter in barrel before being run directly into bottle without filtering or fining. Total Time in Barrel: 18 months.
