Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"Dark crimson in colour, this wine is brooding with a rich, bold, and powerful bouquet of savoury red berry fruit, aromas of sweet raspberries, framboise liqueur and sweet vanilla. Lush, juicy, and very appealing savoury tannins give the wine great texture"

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2023 (2020 Vintage)
"Distinctive, complex and varietal bouquet of both Pinot Noir and Central Otago, scents of savoury spiced dark plums and dark cherry flesh, dark soils of stones and toasty French oak barrel spices led by powdered vanilla and clove. Youthful and demanding bouquet overall. On the palate an equally expressive wine, dry, firm youthful texture from tannins and a back bone of acidity, fruit and wood flavours are persistent along with a natural savoury dried herb quality. Well made, taut and youthful with best drinking from late 2024 through 2030+."

McArthur Ridge, located in the picturesque Alexandra Valley of Central Otago, is a vineyard that exemplifies the region's winemaking excellence. With roots tracing back to the late 1800s, the vineyard has transformed from a desert landscape into a thriving oasis, thanks to the discovery of pure glacial-fed water that nurtures the vines.

At the forefront of McArthur Ridge’s offerings is the Brassknocker, a multiple award-winning Pinot Noir. Named after the distinctive Brassknocker soils in which the vines are planted, this wine is richly aromatic, with notes of ripe cherry, oak spice, and mocha. Its succulent palate of red berries and fine tannins makes it a standout choice for both immediate enjoyment and long-term cellaring.

The Alexandra Collection represents the vineyard's Premier Cru level, showcasing handcrafted wines that capture the unique characteristics of Central Otago’s terroir. Each bottle in this collection tells a story of the land, offering a harmonious blend of flavours that reflect McArthur Ridge’s winemaking mastery.

Crowning their offerings is the McArthur Grand Cru Pinot Noir, inspired by the vineyard’s founder, James McArthur. This dark crimson wine, with its bold bouquet of savoury red berries and sweet vanilla, demonstrates the vineyard's continual pursuit of perfection.

Beyond their exceptional wines, McArthur Ridge is a testament to passion, innovation, and a deep connection to the land. The vineyard is overseen by Chief Winemaker Matt Connell, whose expertise has earned numerous accolades, and Vineyard Manager Murray Petrie, who ensures that the unique terroir of Central Otago is perfectly captured in every grape. Together, they continue to shape the legacy of McArthur Ridge, making it a cornerstone of the Alexandra wine community.
