Caroline's Pinot Noir 2022

$120

The complete voice of our Pinot Noir vineyard, bringing five clones together in a layered, finely structured expression.

Caroline’s is drawn from the vineyard’s broader five-clone selection: 115, 667, 777, UCD6 and Abel. The 2022 shows red cherry, raspberry and plum with rose, hibiscus, thyme and earth. Supple, dusty tannins and bright acidity carry the wine through a long, savoury finish.

Vintage & Wine Details

VINTAGE

La Niña shaped the 2022 season. A warm spring brought even budburst, followed by cool, damp flowering that naturally reduced crop weight and berry size. Mild summer temperatures retained acidity, while a dry, settled autumn allowed the fruit to reach full maturity.

VINEYARD

Single-vineyard fruit from the Clos Ostler monopole in the Waitaki Valley. The dry-grown vines occupy a north-facing limestone escarpment at approximately 208–230 metres. Caroline’s is drawn from the broader five-clone planting of 115, 667, 777, UCD6 and Abel.
