A vibrant, elegant Central Otago Pinot with layers of red cherry, raspberry, and lifted florals, underpinned by savoury, earthy notes and fine, compact tannins. Bright, youthful, and structured, it captures both the purity of fruit and the distinctive gravelly‑loess soils of the Lowburn subregion, promising graceful ageing as well as immediate charm

Planted in 2000 beneath the Pisa Range, Lowburn Ferry has built its reputation on producing some of Central Otago’s most decorated Pinot Noirs—wines that marry scientific precision with a deep respect for place. Now part of the Aotearoa New Zealand Fine Wine Estates family, the 2022 release shows why this tiny vineyard is so revered. Bright ruby in the glass, it bursts with red fruits, wild florals, and a savoury, meaty edge, carried on a fine, dense structure. There’s both elegance and intensity here: crunchy cherry and raspberry layered with earthy spice, finishing long and compact. Certified organic and crafted with minimal intervention, it’s a wine that speaks clearly of its terroir and will reward both early enjoyment and cellaring.
