A slight step back in time with this vintage after the impressive ripeness of the 2008, this is still in the roundly opulent style of Gladstone but in its freshness and precision harks back to the 2006 and 2007. Lovely pure juicy aromatics and a sweet purity of fruit on the long palate too. L&S (Feb 2011)

If you are looking for a New Zealand Pinot Noir that is more serious than the norm but is not encumbered by too serious a price tag, check out Gladstone Pinot Noir 2009. Wairarapa, like Martinborough, is in the well-favoured gastronomic hinterland of Wellington in the south east of the North Island and Gladstone has always impressed me. The wines have real depth of flavour, no jamminess, the structure to develop for another few years and some attractive liquorice and spice. Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jun 2011)
Pale ruby. Some real depth and interest to this wine – liquorice and spice and real structure. Really rather good value in a Burgundian context. Bursting with ambition! GV. 2011 - 2015. Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (May 2011)
Gladstone Vineyard
"Gladstone is a very serious producer" wrote Jancis Robinson in October 2008. Gladstone Vineyard is a small but growing family business based in the Wairarapa, New Zealand, with an established reputation for making award-winning wines of finesse and complexity. Established in 1986, Gladstone Vineyard was the first of a cluster of boutique wineries established on the old riverbed of the Ruamahanga River at Gladstone. In February 1996, Christine and David Kernohan took over the vineyard. Both were born in Glasgow, Scotland, and emigrated to New Zealand in the late 1970s. Christine took over as winemaker in the late nineties and manages all aspects of the business. She is proud to be one of only three Scottish women winemakers in the world. From the outset Gladstone Vineyard has been a member of the New Zealand sustainable winegrowing association, and Christine's scientific background has been put to good use in applying practical solutions to pest, disease and pollution control, as well as her winemaking.
