Wild Rock is a highly respected New Zealand winery, known for producing wines of excellent quality at approachable prices, each one capturing the unique character of its region. Grapes are sourced from carefully chosen vineyards across Marlborough, Hawke’s Bay, Central Otago, and Martinborough, with each terroir lending its own personality to varieties like Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir. Winemaking takes place in modern facilities and in small batches, ensuring the purity of each grape’s profile is preserved. All of this happens under the watchful eye of the Craggy Range team and renowned Master of Wine, Steve Smith. Their mission is to explore French grape varieties and match each with its ideal terroir — and one of the most compelling expressions of this philosophy is the Wild Rock Pinot Noir 2018, where the finesse of Pinot Noir finds a natural home in Marlborough’s cool-climate vineyards.
The grapes were hand-harvested at optimum ripeness. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to preserve the fruit and the variety’s natural elegance. After fermentation, the wine was aged for around nine months in French oak barriques (3% new), while a small portion remained in steel to retain the purity of the fruit.
Wild Rock Pinot Noir 2018 is a wine full of freshness, balance, and clear fruit character — all at an exceptionally fair price, making it ideal for everyday enjoyment.
