This was the year the legendary Edmond de Rothschild Heritage (the same family behind Château Clarke and various Lafite projects) officially took the reins. They were searching for the \"Holy Grail\" of Pinot Noir outside of Burgundy and landed on these specific vines in Bannockburn, Central Otago. Think of it as a rugged, sun-drenched Kiwi hiker who just inherited a perfectly tailored French suit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe Nose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe 2022 is a fragrant little monster. It hits you with an immediate wave of dark berries, blueberries, and black cherries. Once you move past the primary fruit, it gets sophisticated: there are whispers of wild thyme, smoky mushroom, and a hint of expensive leather. It smells like a walk through a damp forest in autumn, but someone nearby is baking a cherry pie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThe Taste\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eOn the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, which is the trademark of the Bannockburn sub-region (often called the \"Grand Cru\" of Central Otago). You will find plum and dark chocolate flavors held together by a vibrant, citrus-like acidity. The tannins are silky—they do not bite; they just give the wine a lovely, velvety \"grip.\" The finish is long and carries a distinctive stony mineral thread, reminding you that these vines are growing on schist and glacial gravel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eProduct Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"11,1,1,0\"\u003eBannockburn, Central Otago, NZ (Single Estate)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGrape\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"11,2,1,0\"\u003e100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOwner\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"11,3,1,0\"\u003eEdmond de Rothschild Heritage (Acquired 2022)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"11,4,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,4,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAging\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"11,4,1,0\"\u003e~11 months in French oak barriques (roughly 25% new)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"11,5,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,5,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"11,5,1,0\"\u003e13.5%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"11,6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCellaring\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"11,6,1,0\"\u003eDrink now or hold until 2032+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"11,7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCritical Score\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"11,7,1,0\"\u003e94-95 Points (James Suckling, Cameron Douglas MS)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eBest Paired With:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Classic:\u003c\/b\u003e Roast duck with a plum or cherry reduction (the fruit-on-fruit action is unbeatable).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Earthy Choice:\u003c\/b\u003e Wild mushroom risotto or anything featuring truffles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe \"Kiwi\" Way:\u003c\/b\u003e Slow-cooked lamb shanks with rosemary and garlic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003ePro Tip\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003eWhile the bottle says you can drink it now, this wine loves oxygen.

This project is a partnership between the Rothschilds and the Peabody family (of Craggy Range fame). While Marlborough is famous for Sauvignon Blanc, Rimapere focuses on the \"noble\" side of the region. The 2018 vintage comes from a single 24-hectare vineyard in the prestigious Rapaura district.

It opens with a very bright, high-toned scent of red cherries and raspberries. As you swirl the glass, the French influence emerges through subtle earthy undertones, dried thyme, and a hint of clove.
