Scores

There is a noticeable vegetal component to the distinctly floral-inflected red currant and dark pinot fruit scents. The lilting and very supple medium weight flavors possess fine detail before terminating in a cool, delicious and balanced finish that evidences mild austerity. The vegetal character is sometimes annoying and in other cases it seems to complement the complexity and in this case it is an example of the latter where it is a net positive. 2016+ Score: 89 Points Burghound

Tasting Notes

The Gibbston region is the most westerly and one of the coolest Otago sub-regions. The longer hang-time for these slower-ripening grapes adds elegance and complexity to the Valli Gibbston Pinot. A very attractive nose with enticing floral and perfumed aromas. Velvety smooth, supple and silky on the palate with red fruits, more perfumed and spicy notes. Beautifully balanced with linear acidity, this is very defined and elegant Pinot with a very long length.
