Wild cherry and blackberry fruit shows remarkable purity, framed by talc-like minerality from wild fermentation. Extended French oak aging adds complexity without overwhelming the pristine fruit. Bendigo's naturally robust tannins are masterfully handled. Silky and embracing rather than aggressive. Gorgeous now but built for the long haul.

Prophet's Rock
→Prophet's Rock is one of Central Otago's most serious addresses, producing site-specific Pinot Noir and a small range of whites from the Bendigo and Pisa sub-regions, with a clear focus on vineyard expression over winemaking intervention.
