Prophets Rock Olearia Pinot Noir 2021

Olearia Lineata is a small dense tree with elegant fine branches and tiny drought­ resistant leaves that once carpeted the valley floors of Central Otago. We are fortunate to have large numbers of these officially ‘at-risk’ trees in and around both our Bendigo vineyards and continue to plant more. This wine comes from the very steep, highest elevation parcels on our Rocky Point Vineyard, planted on mineral-rich schist soils. The grapes for this wine were hand-picked between the 1st – 7th of April, fermented using only indigenous ‘wild’ yeast, and matured for 17 months in French oak barrels.
