NOTES
Available for the first time in Australia, Prophet’s Rock, with high quality vineyard sites in the Pisa and Bendigo sub-regions of Central Otago, is dedicated to the production of premium quality Pinot Noir, Riesling and Pinot Gris reflecting the true ‘Central Otago’ regional styles
TASTING NOTES
Dark ruby in colour, the Prophet’s Rock 2006 shows rich boysenberry, dark cherry with floral and spice aromas on the nose leading onto a smooth, dense, well structured palate. Here the rich aromatics are enhanced by silky tannins and well balanced acidity adding structure before leading on to a long rich finish. A versatile food wine that will complement a wide range of cuisine, this wine is a great match with lamb, game and salmon and will continue to provide great enjoyment to those with patience over the next 3-10 years.
OTHER REVIEWS
Lots going on here with black cherry, plum, sarsaparilla, pepper, spice, smoke, flowers and pencilly oak all making their contributions to this aromatically action packed wine. It’s medium bodied with bright fresh acidity, smooth lightly chalky tannins and excellent flow through the mouth. Not heavy or sweet with flavours of black cherry, graphite, liquorice, spice, a little cocoa and a long clean spicy finish. It’s a very impressive wine. 93 Points, Gary Walsh, Winorama, April 2008
"A richly perfumed, notably generous and supple red with a lovely surge of cherry, plum and spice flavours. Simply irresistable." Wine of the Week, 5 stars: NZ Listener 5 April 2008 (Michael Cooper)
“An experience not to be missed.” Peter Saunders, NZ Wine Guide
“OK, here’s our prediction: Prophet’s Rock will become a household name over the next few years , and will be spoken about in the same breath as such icons as Te Mata, Ata Rangi, Craggy Range and Felton Road. Prophet’s Rock is set to produce some of NZ’s most exciting and sought after wine.” Wine Direct Imports NZ
