Such a contrast to 2016! 2014 was warmer and with 2 more years of bottle age, the wine is more fruit forward, more opulent and more balanced against the brooding, spicy character of Gibbston. Fabulous! — 7 years ago

Light and crisp Sauvignon, very drinkable and great before dinner wine. — 9 years ago

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. — 10 years ago

Central Otago Pinot can really age - incredibly pure red fruit, interlaced with good acid, and silky mouthfeel. — 10 years ago

Made from oldest vines in Otago grown around the cellar door - all of 35yrs old! By far the most complex of the single vineyards. More elegant, and less tannic but still packs a punch. Lots going on here, but yet to unfurl — 7 years ago

Oak and wood on the nose. Light, medium tannins with raspberry and spice. A bit too much oak, but tasty with food. — 9 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. — 9 years ago

Jammy but with good acid. Reminds me of aged Zinfandel. Very surprised by the age on here. I thought 2013 Gibbston Pinot. — 10 years ago

Lemon Gold - pristine clear. Honeyed nuances with some paraffin on nose. Sweetish broadening palate with a little acidity. At its peak. First time trying a10 year old NZ Riesling. No distinguishing features much from a 10 year old Aussie Riesling. A little more Germanic perhaps. When young this wine had Rose petals on nose. Last of a dozen. Lovely wine. 2005 vintage. — 10 years ago

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 — 8 years ago

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 — 9 years ago

Established in 1983 this dry farmed certified organic Vineyard is one of the earlier ones in Otago. Bought a dozen of their Riesling 12 years ago and drank the last one recently- all very good. — 9 years ago

Oak fermented and I suspect some lees, which makes for a full body honey and white flower parfait style wine... — 10 years ago

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. — 11 years ago
