Jammy but with good acid. Reminds me of aged Zinfandel. Very surprised by the age on here. I thought 2013 Gibbston Pinot. — 8 years ago

Chard Farm

Central Otago Riesling 2010

From one of the first wineries in the attractive Gibbston Valley near Queenstown, still making classy wine. Pale limey gold, lemon curd, floral, off dry with gentle acidity with notes of lemon crême brulée. Medium bodied, elegant. — 10 years ago

Curious to try that.

Valli

Gibbston Vineyard Pinot Gris 2015

This is almost wine of the year for me. Impeccably made, lovely balance, complex, gorgeous grapefruit and white peach, subtle hints of sandalwood and spice. The weight of the wine is sublime. 13.5 alc but it's so wrapped up in the overall product, there's no obvious heat. Sublime — 7 years ago

Stone fruits, dry pineapple, marmalade, white & yellow florals, honey, candied nuts, citrus, citrus blossoms, melon & delicate minerals. The body is thick & rich, has round acidity with a well polished finish. Photos of their cheese shop. If you like big stinky cheeses...this is your place. Barrel room and more amazing vistas the other side of Queenstown. — 7 years ago

Gibbston Vineyard Pinot Noir 2009

This is the 2009. Red fruit, cola, spice, balanced-leaning-towards-bright acidity. Something smoky leads to a long and pleasant finish. Very pretty nose. This is a rare case where the wine actually seems better at home than it did at the winery. Loving this. — 9 years ago

Peregrine

The Pinnacle Pinot Noir 2015

The best cuvée from Peregrine with 100% Gibbston fruit ie where their award winning winery is. Showing the trademark thyme and herbal qualities of the region. Bought some 2004 from the winery years ago. This shows they are consistently good — 7 years ago

Glenlee Pinot Noir 2014

Most expressive of the 2014 single vineyards I tried. Warm smoke, and meat in the nose, before a red fruit palate and some tannins. Will improve with time, but good now. — 8 years ago

Gibbston Valley

Le Fou Central Otago Riesling 2007

At 10% alcohol--with I'm guessing 60+ g residuals--the last 9 years leave an impression that is both sweetly-floral and quenching. Not sweet enough to be sticky on the palette, this is akin to peach honeysuckle sherbet. If you're lucky to have one of these tucked away, enjoy it on a bluebird mountain day. — 8 years ago
