  1. Rockburn Chardonnay 2023 (6x 750mL), Central Otago, NZ

Wine Summary Image

Please Note: Vintage may vary when delivered. We do our best to ensure the current vintage is displayed as soon as available, but variations can occur.

This is a refined cool-climate Chardonnay: fresh, textural, elegant, and minerally, rather than the rich, heavy, buttery oak-monster style. The focus is on purity of fruit (citrus and stone fruit), minerality (wet stone/rock), and fine structure (acidity + texture) with subtle oak/lees influence.

It is appropriate for early drinking but also offers medium-term ageing (5-7 years or more) as per the producer.

Region:
NZ - Central Otago
State:
Imported
Country:
New Zealand

Winery Tasting Notes

Appearance

Pale straw-to-light lemon colour, with a hint of green-tinged brilliance. The clarity is pristine, indicating good fruit health and clean winemaking.

This matches the winemaker note of a crisp and lighter-spectrum Chardonnay.

A pure and subtle bouquet: elements of wet stone, lemon zest and ripe peach are called out in the official notes.

Palate

Medium-body leaning toward texture and finesse rather than bold power. The official notes: “full, textural with fine tension … showing lemon meringue, butterscotch and delicate minerality and a zesty finish.”

Winery Profile

Brand Profile Image

Rockburn takes its name from the rugged, rock-strewn, burn-scarred landscape of Central Otago. The region is renowned for its stunning scenery of rugged mountains and picturesque lakes.

We produce premium wines of intense varietal characteristics in Central Otago, the world’s most southerly grape-growing region. Central Otago, at 45º south, has a climate similar to Burgundy, France, the great Pinot Noir producing region of the world.

All our wines exhibit strong varietal characteristics, highlighted in the white varieties by crisp acids, which are typical of the region. It has also become apparent that like Burgundy there are distinct ‘appellations’ within Central Otago. One has only to taste a Gibbston Valley Pinot Noir to experience its perfumed nose, typically violets, and earthy, forest floor sensations on the palate.

Compare this with a Lowburn/Bannockburn Pinot Noir with its darker colour and fuller, sweeter fruit. For this reason, to fully exploit the potential of the region, it is a distinct advantage to have vineyards in different ‘appellations’.
