Mount Edward Pinot Noir 2009 - $45
So far Vintage 2009 is delivering some of the more purer forms of pinot noir that we have seen in Central Otago for some time. We experienced a growing season where temperatures and sunlight were never too hot nor too cold. A long hang time ensued with the vines delivering healthy clean fruit of small to average size berries. All this led to wines like our estate Pinot Noir 2009
Beautiful aromatics – cherries and bright berryfruits mixed with some darker fruit notes plus hints of herb and spice. On the palate there is that same purity of fruit expression and a smooth and silky texture with just enough tannin to support the the depth and weight of the flavours. Not so much a big wine as possessing power – easily one of the better estate wines to come out of Mount Edward.

Mount Edward Riesling 2008 - $25
Riesling from the 2008 vintage saw a further expansion in our style, more precision, a linear based style of riesling with plenty of refreshing acidity balanced by a touch of sweetness up front – all finishing dry. Kabinett in style if you want a marker. Apples, citrus and a touch of spice – lithe and delicate. LOVE riesling ....

Mount Edward Riesling 2009 The Drumlin - $29
The Drumlin is Mount Edward’s home block Riesling, the wine grown from vines that sit on a small, steep, north facing vineyard beside the Mount Edward winery in Gibbston.
Everything is done by hand as the site is too steep for machinery. The glacial based, gravelly schist soils, give a nice mineral backbone to the wine. Harvested in late April at a very low 1 tonne per hectare, this Riesling is medium in style, the residual sugar balanced by a clean crisp acidity. Delicate yet complete, this wine is drinking extremely well now but can be cellared with confidence.
Aperitif in style with a low 9.0 % alc 69 cases total
92 points Lisa Perrotti Brown MW Sept 09 on E Robert Parker .com
