Rocky Point is produced exclusively from our own vineyards and the wines benefit from the classical approach that is the hallmark of Prophet’s Rock. In the winery the fruit is handled with the same care, respect and methods used for all Prophet’s Rock wines. The Rocky Point Pinot Noir is barrel-aged before bottling. The Rocky Point Pinot Noir are typically expressive, perfumed and supple wines that drink very well in their youth. For those with patience, the wines will continue to improve, with peak drinking 5-7 years from vintage. The Rocky Point Pinot Noir has consistently won awards and great reviews since the first release in 2003.
Producer
Prophet's rock was established in Central Otago in 1999 and spans two vineyards in the sub-region of Bendigo. The sites are both elevated and steep with rare mixes of soil. Winemaker Paul Pujol refined his trade working in France’s classical wine regions, the Languedoc, Sancerre and, crucially, Burgundy and Alsace. His traditional aesthetic — respectful, patient, vineyard-focused – resonates in their wines, and frees each wine to express the unique tenor of our sites. Prophet’s Rock is committed to sustainable wine production, their vines sitting comfortably in the natural environment that surrounds them.

Region
Central Otago is the most southerly wine region in New Zealand, and in fact the world. It only accounts for around 3% of New Zealand's total production - but it is arguably the most well regarded region from an international perspective, in terms of quality at least - producing around 11,000 tonnes of fruit annually. It is synonymous with finely crafted & sought after Pinot Noir, although Riesling, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc & Chardonnay are also produced in significant amounts. We recommend producer's such as Rippon, Peregrine, Prophet's Rock & Akarua.
