Rippon Winery is located in Central Otago, New Zealand and at the helm is Nick Mills right now. Nick is the fourth generation of the family to deal with the family vineyards and has even worked in Romanne-Conti (the galaxy's most epic Pinots). Recently, he has started working with biodynamic cultivation in his vineyards. On the other hand, Rippon winery is one of the most important of the region, with its wines climbing very high in the scorings every year. Rippon Pinot Noir is one of them and comes from old vines planted on a small piece of land around Lake Wanaka. Nick claims that every year this wine uniquely expresses both the terroir and the peculiarities of each vintage and 2017 is a top vintage! James Suckling has characteristically written "The palate is very concentrated, dense and elegantly full, with dense aromas of raspberry and black cherry. Really taut, fully ripe and deliciously intense Pinot Noir. "
