"The Glenlee vineyard was planted by Gary Andrus in 2002 to a high-density configuration (6000 vines per hectare). A band of glacial outwash and river gravels fans out through the highest eastern corner of this north-facing site. Here, free-draining soil ensures vines are balanced with open canopies, lignified stems and ripe fruit. Glenlee Pinot Noir is drawn exclusively from these vines. The fruit combines fragrance with concentration and structure.
The beauty of Gibbston threads through this wine. From its delightful bouquet to its wistful lingering thread of tannin, it embodies the site and region. Wild herbs and buoyant red fruit aromatics lead into a long, delicate palate and an elegant, gently sappy finish."
94/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review (2019 Vintage)
"Deliciously fragrant, delicate cool-climate pinot noir with floral, violet, subtle fresh herb and red cherry flavours. Lovely purity and surprising power demonstrated by a lingering finish. A very appealing wine."
5 Stars Michael Cooper (2019 Vintage)
"A single-vineyard red, grown at Gibbston, the refined 2019 vintage was hand-harvested, fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured for 10 months in French oak barriques (20 per cent new). Bright ruby, it is a very graceful wine, mouthfilling and supple, with vibrant, ripe cherry, plum and spice flavours, showing excellent complexity and depth, fresh acidity and obvious potential; best drinking 2023+."
Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, November 2020 (2019 Vintage)
"A lovely varietal core of fruit greets the nose with scents of black cherry and plum, dried raspberry then smoky wood spices of French barrel and quiet savoury complexity. On the palate – equally ripe and enticing with flavours that reflect the nose, firm chalky tannins and acidity to match. The savoury layer intensifies with each new sip and oak flavours reveal more baking spices and toasty layers. A lovely still harmonising, yet showing great potential. Best in cellar till late 2022 then enjoy through 2032."
