Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Deep profound ruby in colour. The very complex nose takes time to open and shows a range of florals from peony rose to violets, cherries, and boysenberries, with anise and cedar notes mixed with black tea leaves. The palate is warm, open, and deep, with violets and anise joined by blood orange, juicy boysenberry, and red cherry. The spices and chalky mouthfeel typical of this site carry though to a very long and textured finish. There is a lot to unpack with this wine and it is worth decanting in advance and spending time with. This wine pairs well with duck, venison, and lamb.

The handpicked fruit is destemmed and fermented using only indigenous ‘wild’ yeast. A key feature of our vinification is extremely low extraction, all our small open top tanks are only hand-plunged once during fermentation. The wine then spends 17 months in barrel (35% new) and undergoes indigenous malolactic fermentation."

97+/100 Erin Larkin, RobertParker.com, Wine Advocate, June 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"The 2023 Home Vineyard Pinot Noir is grown on a pocket of pedogenic limestone, clay and schist. The wine is possessed of a mineral presence that is alluring to the point of thrilling, with a mineral seam of tannin that runs from the front to the back of the palate and out into the long finish. It draws the fruit flavour along with it, meaning I am left with a textural linger of flavour and shape long after the wine has gone. The wine is eminently red fruited and spiced, with raspberry seed, sweet pouch tobacco, crushed rocks, iodine in small measure, dried herbs and brine. The finish is almost as good as the lead-in, all elements of the wine working together in a swirl of cooperation and harmony. The beauty of the 2023s from Central Otago (and the South Island generally) has dawned on me, after tasting a huge number of them over the past six months. It wasn't presented as a vintage I should watch out for; rather, the wines speak for themselves. They have energy, detail, poise and life. The extraction management in the winery is extremely specific and sparing, meaning the tannins that we live with here in the glass are mostly vineyard-derived, and what is better than that? This is chalky, chewy and pliable, and the tannins are elongating and lengthening."

97/100 Emma Jenkins MW, Decanter UK, October 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"Starts slow but is worth the wait. Complex aromatics, with dark plums, black cherry, waxy notes, dried rose petal, wild thyme, peaty earth; not the easiest to tease out the wine's individual components. A mouthfilling, compact and very textural palate with abundant, ripe tannins. Pretty tightly wound now but the fruit concentration and super-length speak of good things to come."

97/100 JamesSuckling.com, March 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"A gorgeous pinot, this shows pure and focused strawberries and dark berries as well as lavender and sandalwood. Flint too. Medium-bodied with ultrafine tannins and long, racy finish. It's sleek and curated. Terrific. So drinkable now but will age beautifully."
