"Medium to full ruby colour with traces of purple and brick-red. The bouquet is reserved and metallic with ironstone and dried-blood nuances, dark plum emerging with airing, and very complex. The wine is full-bodied and savoury, with drying tannins, fleshiness and terrific depth of flavour. Serious concentration and appetising savouriness. A pinot with structure: the tannins are typical of the Bendigo subregion." - Huon Hooke
"From Prophet Rock's high altitude Bendigo vineyard and the hottest vintage on record. Elegant, intense and savoury pinot noir with raspberry, blueberry, baked earth, anise, thyme and spice flavours. It's supported by fine tannins that give the wine a suede-like texture." - Bob Campbell MW, 95 points
"This is a very perfumed and gently spicy style that offers plenty of raspberry, boysenberry and red-cherry aromas with red flowers, pepper and leafy notes, too. The palate offers quite an intense, fresh and elegant feel with vibrant acidity driving succulent red-cherry flavor. Smooth tannin texture." - James Suckling
"Prophet’s Rock was first planted in 1999 in what is a breathtaking part of Bendigo in the Cromwell Basin. Unlike the majority of the vineyards in this region which sit on the valley floor our vineyards are planted on steep slopes facing North. Paul Pujol is the winemaker since the first vintage in 2005 and has spent the off season over the last 4 years working in France at both Alsace for Kuentz-Bar and Comte de Vogue in Burgundy so has a superb grounding in aromatic textured whites and one of the greatest expressions of Pinot Noir.
Our flagship Pinot Noir – Sourced from our high-elevation, steep glacial terrace Home Vineyard on clay & pedogenic limestone soil featuring schist & quartz. Minimal extraction, barrel aged for 17 months, bottled unfiltered & cellared before release.
The foundation of this wine is our focus on delivering low-yielding concentrated fruit that expresses our vineyard. In the winery, we employ traditional old world techniques; the grapes are handled gently and the wines are fermented using only the indigenous yeast from the vineyard.
Cellaring will reward collectors over the next 10+ years from vintage." - Prophet's Rock
