Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"The 2023 vintage yielded beautiful fruit from each of our sites, which we have simply guided gently through to the bottle with minimal handling. Our “hands-off” approach delivers a pure expression of Central Otago to your glass; an expressive nose and deeply fruited palate displaying vibrant notes of red and black cherry, rich mocha and supple, silky tannins leading into a very long finish. As always this wine shows classic Rockburn elegance, integrity and balance. Enjoy with friends over the next 4-9 years."

Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, July 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Immediately enticing bouquet with complexity and spice, ripe red berry fruit aromas of raspberry and plums, some blackcurrant and dried herb complexities. Dry and complex on the palate with flavours, textures and a delicious mouthfeel. Judicious use of oak with some toasty spice layers, varietal and new, ripe tannins and backbone of acidity. Well made with best drinking from as early as late 2024 through 2034."

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Seductively perfumed, the enticing bouquet shows dark plum, violet, olive and mushroom nuances with an elegant oak infusion. The palate offers excellent concentration and weight, wonderfully complemented by plush texture and finely pitched tannins. Wonderfully harmonious and persistent with stylish complexity. At its best: 2025 to 2036."

91/100 Erin Larkin, RobertParker.com, February 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"The 2023 Pinot Noir is vibrantly red-fruited, with star anise, black cherry, licorice, white pepper, a hint of game/meat broth and brine. In the mouth, the tannins are chewy and firm but not intrusive, making for an altogether serious wine of impact and deliciousness."

4 ½ Stars & Top 10 Cuisine Pinot Noir Tasting, April 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"An immediately inviting nose with ripe cherries and plums alongside delicious cinnamon and clove spice aromas. The generous palate is clean and bright yet silky and polished with taut acid and bold tannins working in perfect harmony and beautiful oak integration."

Nestled on the 45th parallel, Rockburn derives its name from the rugged, rock-strewn, burn-scarred landscape of Central Otago. This region, celebrated for its stunning scenery of rugged mountains and picturesque lakes, is the world’s most southerly grape-growing area. The climate here is akin to that of Burgundy, France, the renowned Pinot Noir region. Rockburn produces premium wines with intense varietal characteristics, particularly noted in their white varieties for their crisp acidity. The distinct appellations within Central Otago, like Gibbston Valley and Lowburn/Bannockburn, allow Rockburn to exploit the full potential of the region.

Rockburn's journey began in 1991 with a 3ha vineyard at Lake Hayes near Arrowtown. By 1992, a 9ha vineyard in Gibbston Valley was added. In 1999, the acquisition of a 33ha vineyard at Parkburn marked a significant expansion. Rebranded as Rockburn Central Otago in 2002, the winery continued to grow. In 2005, Malcolm Rees-Francis became the winemaker, and in 2006, the winery-cellar door complex opened in Cromwell. By 2015, a new winery complex was purchased to meet rising demand.

Rockburn is dedicated to producing superior reserve wines that reflect Central Otago’s superb regional character. Their Stolen Kiss wines, made from the best Pinot Noir grapes, evoke summertime romance. The Devil's Staircase wines, inspired by the challenging Central Otago environment, offer a unique twist. Additionally, Rockburn offers premium single vineyard, single block, or single clone wines, and magnum formats of their favourite wines.
