Coal Pit is a boutique family vineyard in Central Otago, New Zealand. They are committed to producing world-class wines from their certified organic vineyard and on-site winery.

Only made in the best years, this is the fifth release of the premium Proprietor’s Reserve. 

Grown in a settled Central Otago season characterised by low yields and intense fruit concentration. Crafted from hand-picked fruit, grown on 25+ year old vines at an elevated single vineyard in Gibbston. Barrel fermentation with regular lees stirring imparts texture and palate weight, beautifully complementing the exotic fruit profile.

Delicate aromas of kaffir lime leaf, lemon zest and orange blossom are in harmony with exotic notes of caraway seeds and jalapeño. The palate evokes a savoury and textural medium-bodied weight, with juicy tones of gooseberry supported by a wet stone and crushed schist vibrancy. A final lick of saline is apparent, typical of the Coal Pit vineyard and drawing out the length of this refined and elegant wine.
