Lowburn, Central Otago, New Zealand –
Aurum vineyard is in a wonderful garden setting on the fluvial, glacial terraces below the Pisa Range at Lowburn. These vines were planted in 1997 and 1998. Owners Joan and Tony Lawrence also have another vineyard at Cromwell, planted in 2001. Originally the Lawrences were contract growers but since 2002 they’ve produced Aurum Wines, now made by French winemaker daughter-in-law Lucie Lawrence.
2008 Aurum Pinot has a lot of grace and elegance for Central Otago. Floral aromas on the nose with red currant and spicy chutney. The palate shows food friendly savouriness, but with ripe fruit, as well as the trademark Lowburn texture and resilient acid. There’s weight without jamminess.
