Gold Medal – The National Wine Awards of Aotearoa New Zealand 2023
Lowburn Ferry wines are now under the umbrella of Aotearoa NZ Wine Estates (along with Pyramid Valley and Smith & Sheth CRU) with the wines made by Pyramid Valley's talented winemaker Huw Kinch. This brand new release impresses with sense of place and opulence on the palate. An excellent wine.
Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Fruit sourced from three Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand accredited vineyards in the Central Otago sub-regions of Lowburn, Gibbston and Wanaka. A complex palate that speaks of its place. Aromas of blueberries and blackberries mingle with subtle hints of liquorice, creating a multi-layered bouquet. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with long, silky tannins. Flavours of blueberries and blackberries are accompanied by notes of dark chocolate and star anise. A seamless integration of quality oak that creates opulence and balance."
4 ½ Stars Michael Cooper (2021 Vintage)
"The ruby hued 2021 vintage was grown at three sites, in Lowburn, Gibbston and Wanaka. Barrel-matured for a year, it was then aged for nine months in concrete and wooden cuves. Already drinking well, it is full-bodied and sweet-fruited, with good concentration, savoury, nutty notes adding complexity, gentle acidity, supple tannins and a smooth finish."
