Its Origins
Gibbston Valley Winery is located less than half an hour’s drive north of Queenstown on the Kawarau River. Known as the “Valley of Vines” in an area planted extensively with vineyards and orchards and dotted with the remnants of original gold mining settlements. As one of the region’s founding wineries their focus is always on handcrafting premium wines and honouring the traditions that have made them a world-renowned destination, since releasing Central Otago's first commercial vintage in 1987. All their wine is unfined, unfiltered and sustainably produced.
What The Critics Say
97/100 Bob Campbell MW
"Delicious pinot noir, with a haunting perfume that suggests ripe, dark-fleshed plum, dark cherry, wood smoke, charcuterie and cigar box. A wonderfully complex wine with an absolutely seductive, silken texture. 05 NOV 2020." Drink 2020 - 2029
95/100 Cameron Douglas MS
"Immediately desirable bouquet with a core of ripe dark cherries, plum and dark roses; there’s a distinctive layer of minerality with stone and spice then a wild dried herb layer. Aromas of toasty barrel and wood smoke add in layers of complexity and depth. On the palate - firm textures from tannins and acidity are easily contrasted by the core of berry fruit flavours that reflect the nose. Harmonious, well made and length. A really lovely wine with concentration and pinosity. Best drinking from 2022 through 2030+."
