Over the short history of Central Otago Pinot Noir, Gibbston Valley is constantly in the top 4 producers for quality, and they have some of the older vines in the region which provide a depth of quality.

Handpicked, handcrafted, small-batch fermented, and barrel-aged in French oak, the Gold River Pinot Noir offers exceptional quality and regionality at a good price.

A very high-quality vintage, in spite of a severe October frost. Warm spring and summer conditions gave even bunch weights and moderate yields. Benign conditions continued through to picking, with sufficient rainfall to keep vines healthy. Fruit at harvest was in beautiful condition.
