The Tiwha is our flagship Pinot Noir, named after Rosie's late father. A consistently high performer that complements every occasion.
An exotic and earthy bouquet where dried herbs, dusty leather, and Chinese five-spice abound. An ethereal and complex palate of cherries and strawberries follows, while tomato leaf is gracefully intertwined with delicate fine tannin. The bright acid and schist derived minerality complement well with the umami nuances. The transparency of Pinot Noir shows a true expression of an atypical year in Gibbston with poise and refined elegance.
Rosie matches this wine with a Roast Peking duck with home-made plum sauce.

More about how it's made
The 2020 season was relatively cool for Gibbston, but will be forever remembered as a challenging vintage due to the significant restrictions at harvest due to the global pandemic. Careful attention to every aspect of the viticulture paid dividends and the vines carried fruit through to ripeness, balanced by good acidity and concentration.
Vineyard: 100% Pinot Noir, hand harvested from vines dating back to 1994.
Clonal mix: 115, 10/5, 777, 5, 6
Vinification: 100% destemmed, 4-6 days cold soak, barrel maturation for 10 months in 28% new French oak.
