Overview:
Rippon Emma’s Block Pinot Noir 2021 is a captivating single-vineyard expression from one of Central Otago’s most distinctive sites. Facing eastward on the lakefront, where ancient clay reefs weave through fine schist gravels, this wine embodies precision, detail, and finesse. Named in honour of the Mills family’s great-great-great grandmother, it represents elegance, heritage and the quiet power of place, combining layered fruit with a mineral edge and refined structure.
Tasting Notes:
Aromatic notes of plum, strawberry and red berries are lifted by hints of orange zest, herbs and subtle spice. The palate is sleek and finely woven, delivering vibrant fruit alongside floral and mineral nuances. Silky tannins and taut acidity frame the flavours beautifully, leading to a persistent finish of depth and poise. Still youthful, this wine will evolve gracefully over time, rewarding patience with even greater complexity.
