Grapes grown, handpicked and made into wine on a single, fully certified organic vineyard. For one night, the whole range comes to The Wine Room, poured and told by the person who makes it, winemaker Anika Willner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAnika joined Coal Pit in 2018 with vintages in Burgundy, Oregon, Germany and South Africa behind her. She was named one of New Zealand's Young Winemakers to Watch, and has driven the vineyard's move to full organic certification. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFresh from the 2026 harvest, Anika arrives with stories straight from the vineyard. A cold, testing season in Gibbston asked for what she calls \"careful judgement and thousands of small decisions that ultimately shape what ends up in the glass\". As she reminds us, it is often the most challenging vintages that produce the greatest gems, and Coal Pit's cellar library of every vintage ever made is the proof. Which brings us to the heart of the night, a rare treat: a four-vintage vertical of Tiwha Pinot Noir (2023, 2021, 2019 and 2017), drawn from that library, and including the 2019 that won the New Zealand Pinot Noir Trophy at the 2023 International Wine Challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wine List\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e2025 Coal Pit Pinot Noir Rosé\u003cbr\u003e2024 Coal Pit Proprietor's Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (Barrel Fermented)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2023 Coal Pit Tiwha Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e2021 Coal Pit Tiwha Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e2019 Coal Pit Tiwha Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e2017 Coal Pit Tiwha Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2024 Coal Pit Bannockburn Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e2024 Coal Pit Bendigo Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e2021 Coal Pit The Bear Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e2022 Coal Pit The Romy Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll matched to a dinner created by Chef Alfie Ingham, with just twenty seats at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20 seats at one long table, we'd love to see you there. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Wine Room","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44135020429378,"sku":null,"price":249.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0028\/5927\/0210\/files\/Coal_Pit_bottle_soldiers_jpg.png?v=1785122021","url":"https:\/\/www.thewineroom.nz\/products\/winemakers-dinner-coal-pit-masterclass-with-annika-wilner","provider":"The Wine Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
