The Rock Ferry Cawte's Cave Marlborough Pinot Noir 2022 is a beautifully crafted certified organic Pinot Noir that showcases the purity, energy and elegance of Marlborough. Produced by the world-renowned Rock Ferry winery, this premium release reflects a philosophy of sustainable, organic viticulture, allowing each vineyard to express its unique terroir with authenticity and precision.

Grown from healthy vines in organically managed vineyards, the fruit was de-stemmed and naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts in open-top fermenters before spending 10 months maturing in seasoned French oak barrels, including 8% new oak. Gentle handling throughout the winemaking process preserves the wine's vibrant fruit character while building texture, complexity and finesse.

Bright mid-red in colour with youthful ruby hues, the bouquet reveals lifted aromas of red berries, tart cherry, cranberry and plum, complemented by subtle blackcurrant, smoky oak and delicate mineral notes. The palate is vibrant and beautifully structured, delivering layers of juicy red fruit supported by fine tannins and lively natural acidity. Hints of stony minerality, gentle oak and lees-derived complexity add depth, leading to a long, polished finish that balances freshness with understated power.

This outstanding Marlborough Pinot Noir has been awarded 93 Points and 5 Stars by Sam Kim of Wine Orbit, along with 93 Points from Cameron Douglas MS, highlighting its exceptional quality and pedigree. Produced by one of New Zealand's most respected wineries, it is a superb expression of certified organic Pinot Noir.

Perfect with duck, roast pork, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, herb-roasted chicken or soft-ripened cheeses, the Rock Ferry Cawte's Cave Marlborough Pinot Noir 2022 is drinking beautifully now and will continue to reward careful cellaring over the coming years.
