Roganic at home, lockdown 2022. Days feel dark and we need to find a positive where we can … delicious food, good wine (super easy to drink: velvety, acidic, substance yet light). Need to see if they sell at Baker and Bottleman. — 3 years ago

Did the Creator touch this land and turn this bottling into wine?

Gods country & Jesus wine.

Perfect mouthfeel & purity, gorgeous, delicate, soft citrus, round, waxy, honeysuckle, amazing, perfect, beautiful chalkiness, elegant, grey minerality, some of the best acidity & incredible balance in a wine I’ve had. The finish is in the theatre of, “Forget About It.” WOTN.

Very Burgundian and better than many I’ve enjoyed for less💰.

Photos of, the harvest time view of the valley floor from the property, open top fermenting Pinot Noir grapes, my property walk & talking w/owner Nigel Greening (amazing time with an amazing person/producer and outside concrete tanks...it’s an even warm to cool growing season that translates into a long fruit hang-time, amazing fruit & acidity.

Notes of citrus, dried mango and apricots, minerals, and petrol with heady floral aromas. Slightly more Old World than the Aussie Rieslings I've had. Nice finish. Loving the age on it. — 2 years ago

Very good p/q. Reminds me of Giant Steps Applejack/Sexton. Clean red fruit, lavender, with a deeper spice note. There is Gibbston/Otago deep spice, then you get pure red strawberry. No discernible tannin, and acid is subdued, but at this pricepoint this is a buy. — 4 years ago

Superb pinot noir, stylistically Willamette Valley on first blush (bright, fruit forward cherry attack) but with a nice tannin structure and gradually unfolding finish. Lovely! — 5 years ago

This is my new go-to pinot. Dark brooding and spicy. Very Gibbston Valley in character - almost up to Valli or Gibbston Valley single vineyard bottlings, but at half the price this is a strong buy. — 3 years ago

In 3 months the wine seemed to have soften the tannin a bit, but it remains a big fruity pinot, it nearly makes me think of a Central Otago Pinot.
It is looking for a balance. Still young. Good flavour though. — 5 years ago
