Barrel Selection Pinot noir 2008
This wine shows all the expected characteristics of a premium Central Otago Pinot noir, although interestingly, 2008 was the most "Burgundian" vintage we have experienced. Colour is a rich plummy red, and flavour comprises plums, cherries, and berries, with a background of liquorice, mushrooms and spice. The silky, velvety tannins complete the experience of this stunning wine.

Goldfields Pinot noir 2008
This wine shows the characteristics of its big brother (above) with the exception that colour and flavour density (mid-palate) are slightly reduced.

Goldfields “Cathy’s” Rosé 2010
Named after Catherine, this wine produced from 100% Pinot noir fruit exhibits vibrant flavours of berries, particularly strawberries and raspberries, with a well developed mid-palate and clean finish.

 

 

Goldfields Dry Riesling 2009
Here Crawford’s “play grapes” get transformed into a Riesling wine made in the style of about 200 years ago.Effectively, the wine has never seen stainless steel, instead being barrel fermented and barrel aged on the lees. A dry steely wine is the result – luscious!
