FIVE STARS 98/100 | Candice Wine Chat
Valli is the vision of legendary winemaker Grant Taylor, a pioneer of Otago winemaking since 1993. In 1998, Grant founded Valli to showcase the unique personalities of Central Otago’s sub-regions – Gibbston, Bannockburn, Bendigo, and the Waitaki Valley in North Otago. Each wine is crafted as a pure expression of its place, telling the story of its vineyard and season.
The 2023 Gibbston Pinot Noir is an exceptional vintage – profound, seductive, and brimming with the hallmarks of Gibbston. It offers vivid red fruit, lifted floral fragrance, and layers of earthy complexity, all carried with remarkable length and precision. A true reflection of this cool-climate site, it’s a wine of elegance and persistence, rewarding now and promising even greater depth with time in the cellar.
