Domaine Thomson was the vision of David Hall-Jones and his wife PM (short for Pui Mun) and encompasses the wine operations in the northern and southern hemispheres.
In 2000 they established a 14 ha vineyard at Lowburn, Central Otago. They also owned a property in Burgundy and in 2013 became the first New Zealanders to own a vineyard in Burgundy.
Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"Today the original vision holds firm. PM and her family continue the path she and David began together — one vision, across two hemispheres — crafting wine that reflects the nuances of the terroir and the diversity of the vineyards.
Named in tribute to explorer John Turnbull Thomson, this elegant Central Otago Rosé is crafted from hand-picked Pinot Noir from the Moon Block. Wild fermentation followed a 3 days skin contact, with 40% aged in French oak and 60% in stainless steel for two months. The result is a fresh, refined, and expressive wine that captures the character of its terroir.
A red wine drinkers Rosé – fruity and fragrant, the wine shows red cherry, gala apple, nectarine, and floral aromas, followed by a succulent palate that's beautifully weighted and finely structured."
5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit January 2026 (2025 Vintage)
"Sweetly fruited and fragrant, the wine shows red cherry, Gala apple, nectarine, and floral aromas, followed by a succulent palate that's beautifully weighted and finely structured, offering fabulous drinking. At its best: now to 2028."
92/100 James Suckling (2025 Vintage)
"Deep–tinted Rosé with floral aromas and strawberry and violet flavours. An intense wine with a crisp, bone-dry, lingering finish. Great food wine – try it with hot smoked salmon or a charcuterie platter."
