Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
“The flagship wine from this high-elevation site combines its two steep terraces to make the best overall representation of this special place. Our winemaking aims to be an exercise in understanding and translating our stunning sites into wine as accurately as possible with a minimum of winery signature.
In 2023 the Home Vineyard Pinot Noir displays its characteristic depth and complexity. Deep aromatics that lead with spice and violets lead to a palate with classic fine tannin, juicy bramble fruits and an extremely long finish. This site reveals itself with time in the glass and is a fantastic wine for long term cellaring.”
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.”

94/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, November 2022 (2021 Vintage)
“Very minerally, firm and structured. Indeed, despite the dark berry, cherry, mocha and fennel characters, this really is more about crushed rock, slate and granitic mineral characters in abundance. A firm skeleton first, tannins in a tight, silty web, the wine feels draped in its fruit and spice character hanging on those bones. Lovely in that way and one for the future more than now. Impressive.”
5 Stars & 96/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, July 2022 (2019 Vintage)
“A deep, dark pinot noir with cassis, dark cherry and berry, red-fleshed plum, liquorice, smoky oak and mixed spice/anise flavours. Prophet’s Rock’s signature low extraction winemaking has produced an accessible wine supported by ripe tannins that suggest good ageing potential. Terrific wine!”
5 Stars Michael Cooper (2019 Vintage)
“This consistently rewarding red is estate-grown at a high-altitude site at Bendigo and barrel-aged, typically for about 17 months. The 2019 vintage is finely structured and very harmonious. Full-coloured, it is mouthfilling, with rich cherry, plum and spice flavours, and well-integrated oak adding complexity. Savoury and concentrated, it is likely to be long-lived, and well worth cellaring to 2024+.”
