Made by the team at Rockburn. Winery Note: Our Devil’s Staircase wines are inspired by the winding road leading from Queenstown to Kingston along the shores of Lake Wakatipu. Sourced from several Central Otago vineyards, the Devil’s Staircase Pinot Noir takes the willing down into the realm of decadence and Bacchanalian delights. Here, everything is pleasure spiced up with a bit of naughty. The unrelenting Central Otago environment tortures the vines whose twisted limbs produce a wine worthy of absolution; strong and sensual with lashings of dark fruit, sinfully succulent and devilishly good. The flavours are practically immoral, full of...

Winery Note: The 2021 vintage yielded beautiful fruit from our Gibbston Back Road Vineyard. Grapes were hand harvested early morning, quickly returned to the Rockburn Winery and fermented in small batches. 2021 vintage we’ve elevated the juice with subtle / older French oak, thus adding additional layers of texture and weight to the palate and enhancing those exceptional aromatics and flavours. The winemaking team then simply guide the Pinot Gris gently through to the bottle with minimal handling. Our “hands-off” approach delivers a pure expression of Central Otago to your glass. Ripe peach, nectarine, and Nashi pear aromas with a...

The sweetly frivolous and fruity side of Central Otago Pinot Noir is bound up in this bottle of Stolen Kiss Rosé; once unleashed into your glass its candy-floss and crème-brûlée aromas shall sashay into a flirtatious toffee-apple and simmering strawberry palate smeared with cherry lip-gloss; most fun to drink chilled on sultry summer afternoons and evenings. #ROSES
