Prophets Rock Cuvee Aux Antipodes Pinot Noir
Central Otago
Available in cartons of six
A joint effort by Prophet Rock's Paul Pujol and Bonnes Mares Musigny maestro François Millet. The most superior parcels of Pinot Noir were selected by Millet from the Prophet's Home Vineyard, a magnificent site on a high elevation, steep glacial terrace at Bendigo. Ferments are plunged only once and moved without any pumps into a sellection of Rémond Allier for a judicious term of maturation. The traditional old world handling techniques meet the excellence of new world fruit, in a pas de deux which defines the sublime elegance of Central Otago Pinot Noir.

Prophets Rock Dry Riesling
Central Otago
Available in cartons of six
Prophet's Rock are a member of Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand, the aim is to make the most articulate Central Otago wines in the most natural way, from fruit grown to an environmentally balanced vineyard. There's a single hectare of Riesling at Rocky Point vineyard, planted to opportune schist rock soils, it receives a lot of attention from the devout vineyard team. Yields are extremely low, averaging only 300 cases per vintage. A wild yeast ferment in small vessels and a term of age on sedimentery lees makes a structured Riesling style of vibrant floral citrus over strong underlying minerality.

Prophets Rock Home Vineyard Pinot Noir
Central Otago
Available in cartons of six
Prophet Rock's Home Vineyard was planted to a north facing terrac, high above the Bendigo Station homestead, to panoramic vistas across river terraces of Cromwell Basin and stoic mountains of Pisa Range. An opportune confluence of soils, aspect and clime translate into harvests of intensely flavoured Pinot Noir. Vinification to a regimen of minimalist handling techniques, a gentle ferment through the action of wild, indigenous yeasts, followed by eighteen months in oak, encourages the wine to make itself and to fulfill the promise of Central Otago's most remarkable terroir.

An assemblage of parcels Pinot Gris from the Home and Rocky Point vineyards, two warmer sites of Central Otago which yield a magnificently aromatic Pinot Gris.

Prophets Rock Retrospect Pinot Noir
Central Otago
Available in cartons of six
The Home block at Prophet's Rock hosts a rare mix of soils, schist and quartz clays over a lens of alkaline chalk, all serving to stimulate the auspicious vines. Grapes are all fully destemmed and treated to a minimalist, hands off style of vinification, aimed at permiting the wine to make itself, uninfluenced and unperturbed. A succulent expression of Central Otago at its most exquisite, a jubilee of cherries, mineral and mace, seamless of tannin, graceful and intense. An extremely limited release from a tiny parcel of the most superlative vines, a mere sixty dozen bottles of vintage.

Prophets Rock Rocky Point Pinot Noir
Central Otago
Available by the dozen
Prophet's Rock were established in 1999, with a view to finding sites like no other. Rocky Point Vineyard is such a place, planted to some of the steepest blocks in Central Otago, at the rugged southern extremes of Bendigo. The challenging slopes are drenched in the daytime sunshine, as the rough and stony, free draining soils store the invaluable heat, warming the vines overnight. The Pinot Noir ripens earlier on Rocky Point Vineyard, realizing minimal yields of beautifully perfumed, structured yet supple wines which drink brilliantly in their youth.

When Prophet's Rock were established in 1999, the goal was to find sites in Central Otago like no other

Two vineyards were established in the Bendigo sub-region, Prophet's Rock Home Vineyard and subsequently the Rocky Point. Both are steep and elevated and each is distinctive. The Home Vineyard with its rare mix of soils, including schist, clay and chalk. Rocky Point with its stony ground and almost treacherous slopes. In the winery, they take inspiration from the old houses of Europe. The team refined their trade working in France's classical wine regions, Languedoc and Sancerre, Burgundy and Alsace. Traditionally aesthetic, respectful and patient, vineyard focused. It resonates in the wines and frees them to express the unique tenor of sites.

Such exceptional vineyards are the foundation of Prophets Rock wines, the team are fanatical about looking after them. The journey starts in the vines, growing harvests of low yielding fruit with great concentration and flavour, fruit that's treated with deference. Harvesting is by hand, everything at the winery is considered.

The Home Vineyard sits on a north-facing terrace high above the Bendigo Station Homestead. With the altitude comes exceptional views, panoramic vistas of the sprawling landscapes beyond the vines, the river terraces of the Cromwell Basin and the stoic mountains of the Pisa Range, shaped by the glaciers that once stood here.

The vineyard hosts a rare mix of soils. Schist and quartz mingle with clay and, notably, a lens of chalk running through the site roughly one metre deep in the soil profile. The alkaline chalk influences nutrient uptake in the vines, while the clay retains water, ideal for keeping the sometimes ornery Pinot grape on side in this cool dry climate.

Perched at the rugged southern end of Bendigo, the Rocky Point Vineyard has some of the steepest planted blocks in Central Otago. The site rises from 226 metres to 351 metres, and walking through the vines one feels the land drop away to the blue waters of Lake Dunstan below. The steep slopes of Rocky Point intercept the sun, while the rough ground, stony free-draining soil littered with shiny broken schist, stores the heat, releasing it overnight when the air temperature drops. Fruit grows and ripens earlier here, crucial in a marginal climate like Central Otago. Rocky Point's shallow soils offer the vines they host a coarse welcome. Vegetation works hard to grow here, but there is reward in the concentrated, deeply rich fruit this struggle produces. Full ripening equals full expression, resulting in wines that know, and show, where they came from.

The region's history looms close too. A lone miner's hut sits on the site, a reminder of the gold rush that gripped the region 150 years ago. Steep slopes, rising from 320 metres to almost 383 metres, capture maximum sun, while the elevation delivers cool nights, encouraging deepened flavour development and freshness in the wines. Kopuwai Delta Vineyard is bounded on one side by New Zealand's largest volume river. The Maori legend for Kopuwai is one of power, and sometimes menace that one would do well to respect given the impressive force of this river.
