The 2018 vintage marked the arrival of Rosie & Mark Dunphy’s first grandchild, Harry. A fitting name for the premiere release of the ‘Next Generation Series’; a barrel selection from our top performing Pinot Noir clones, and a culmination of over a decade’s worth of dedication in both the vineyard and winery.
Layers of dark cherry and savoury herbs are delicately integrated with fine tannin, yielding a particularly graceful wine. A true reflection of Gibbston elegance with complexity brooding for many years to come.
Rosie matches The Harry with red wine braised beef cheeks, shallots and thyme.

More about how it's made
The 2018 growing season brought it all. Spring was brilliant, with the earliest flowering in Gibbston's history under continuous dry and warm conditions, resulting in a fantastic fruit set. A perfect Summer, followed by rain events allowed the berries to fill out to beautiful plush bunches. Picking began 21 days early and we once again harvested clean fruit without rain, frost or disease pressure.
Vineyard: 100% Pinot Noir which was hand harvested from plantings dating back to 1994. Clonal mix: 115, 10/5, 777, 5.
Vinification: 100% destemmed with 3-4 days cold soak. 12 months barrel maturation in 40% new French oak.
