The 2022 Vintage

Central Otago navigated an unusually erratic spring in 2022, eventually giving way to a remarkably warm and dry mid-summer. These shifting climatic dynamics forced the vines to work harder, ultimately yielding small, deeply concentrated berries that showcase a darker, wilder fruit profile and a tightly coiled, vibrant tannic backbone.

Mount Edward is a defining pioneer of organic viticulture in Central Otago, cultivating premium vineyards across the Gibbston, Bannockburn, and Lowburn subregions. This pinot noir is a pure snapshot of that extreme southern climate, capturing the raw, rugged energy of New Zealand's mountainous interior.

The winemaking philosophy relies entirely on minimal intervention and a deep respect for indigenous yeast fermentation. By retaining a significant portion of whole clusters during the crush, the cellar team builds an intricate, savoury backbone before the wine rests in mature French oak for over a year. This patient, hands-off approach ensures the final bottling is driven by site expression and structural tension rather than heavy wood or sweet fruit extraction.

Pouring a glass reveals a beautifully rugged profile of dark cherry, crushed bramble, and wild thyme, all framed by a distinct earthy minerality. It is an intellectual, powerfully built pinot noir that effortlessly anchors a celebratory table alongside a deeply savoury venison stew or a classic Sunday roast beef.

The Fulham Wine Co Take

The heavy reliance on whole-bunch fermentation completely transforms this Central Otago red, trading typical sweet fruit for a thrilling, wild-herb complexity. It delivers a deeply savoury, structural edge that places it firmly among the region's elite tier. A highly intelligent bottle that guarantees serious intellectual engagement.

Central Otago

Framed by the snow-capped Southern Alps, Central Otago is the world’s southernmost major wine region and a benchmark for high-altitude Pinot Noir. This rugged, semi-continental landscape combines intense sunlight, low rainfall and schist-rich soils, creating powerful diurnal shifts that preserve freshness and structure. From the cooler terraces of Gibbston to the warmer slopes of Bannockburn, the region produces Pinot Noir with purity, depth and natural energy. Central Otago wines are defined by concentration and clarity, balancing bold fruit with precision and poise.
