Gate 20 Two

Pinot Noir 2013

Small production Pinot. Tasting room was in the family's home and yet this earthy, well-balanced Pinot was the favorite of a day of wine tasting in the world's southernmost wine region. — 10 years ago

What a belter. Lovely spicy, earthy development but solid core of fruit still very alive. Stunning — 11 years ago

Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2010

Lovely as always. Fruity. One of the best central Otago Pinot noir. Perhaps I could have left it in the cellar for a few years. — 12 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

Central Otago Gewürztraminer 2008

Gewurztraminer is a varietal that does particularly well in New Zealand in my tasting experience. Gorgeous nose of lychees with floral spicy notes. Voluptuous on the front and middle palates but finishes dry. The perfect wine with Asian food. In a word - delicious. Another brilliant Gewürztraminer is made at Gisborne in the North Island by Vinoptima whose goal it is to produce the worlds best Gewürztraminer to challenge the Grand Crus of Alsace. — 10 years ago

Bannockburn Brewing Company

Killarabbit Double IPA

I want to love this beer based on its name Killarabbit, label, and the description of how it is made. In the end, it does not have any of the hoppy bitterness to be described as a double ipa, but instead is malty, yeasty, and has a complex sweetness (but no sourness) as a result of the Pinot noir barrel aging and bottle conditioning. — 11 years ago

Stuart Geelong Pinot Noir 2012

Serious pinot here. Whole bunch, old vine fruit. So bright but excellent depth. The balance of fruit and acid is just beautiful. Long finishing, lingering, almost haunting in its power. Gorgeous wine — 10 years ago

Bannockburn Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

Moderate plus acids drive this wine into a floral realm. Balance of this wine is at the top of the top. Beautiful wine, with an exciting mouth feel. — 11 years ago

Bannockburn Central Otago Pinot Noir 2011

Bright and shiny fruit with a good dose of balanced earthiness. Great effort. — 11 years ago

Felton Road

Central Otago Riesling 2008

Umm, not dry. Can't remember how much sugar, but it's about medium dry. Very good, too - mellow lemon, honey tones from age, generous, fresh and juicy through the palate, shapely and with bags of charm. — 11 years ago
