The Gibbston Valley Pinot Noir Bottlings
Gold River: A blend of fruit from the Bendigo and Gibbston sub-regions, the wine showing a Central Otago style "for affordable and everyday consumption”.
Gibbston Valley: A blend of predominantly Bendigo fruit with Gibbston fruit in support, the wine showing the ‘Gibbston Valley’ house style.
School House: A Bendigo single vineyard wine. Vines at 400 m.a.s.l., on fine loess and sand over gravel and schist. This shows elegance, perfume and minerality.
China Terrace: A Bendigo single vineyard wine. Vines at 300-350 m.a.s.l., on loess and sand over glacial outwash and schist. This shows red fruits, opulence and savouriness.
Glenlee: A single vineyard Gibbston district wine. The ‘Glenlee’ vineyard, established by Gary Andrus, is close-planted, 6,000 vines her hectare. Vines from the highest corner on the eastern perimeter, on gravel outwash and river gravel soils. The wine shows Gibbston clarity.
Le Maitre: A single vineyard Gibbston wine, named as a tribute to Alan Brady. From mature mixed clone vines in the ‘Home Block’, planted from 1983, showing older vine character and Gibbston transparency and elegance. The soils are a mix of loess, schist and gravel.
Reserve: Limited production, the very best wine.
