PROPHETS ROCK CUVEE ANTIPODES PINOT NOIR 2022

This wine is a collaboration between Prophet’s Rock winemaker Paul Pujol and esteemed French winemaker François Millet from Chambolle-Musigny, Burgundy. Former winemaker at Comte George de Vogüé for 35 vintages, François continues to make wine in Burgundy with his family under ‘François Millet et Fils’ and with us in New Zealand. Since the first release in 2015, this wine has been sourced exclusively from the same parcel on our small Home Vineyard site up in the hills of Bendigo sub- region, Central Otago.

François Millet continues to tease out the nuances of his parcel of our Home Vineyard with the seventh vintage of Cuvée aux Antipodes. Plums, cherries and florals of rose petal and flowering thyme jump out of the glass. A palate of red and blue fruits, with a subtle savoury note continue on the palate. Incredible structure of elegant but powerful tannin and pure acidity give a wine of both approachability and longevity. A wine of incredible balance, complexity, elegance and clarity.
