Perseverance Estate
is situated in the Alexandra Basin, part of the Central Otago Province, New Zealand’s premier Pinot Noir producing region. Formed by the movement of glacial rock and ice, the scenery in this area is both picturesque and dramatic, leaving behind soils that are dominated by schist, which in turn influences the taste and feel of the region’s wine. Located between Alexandra and Clyde at Mutton Town Gully, Perseverance Estate derives its name from a current wheel gold dredge, built in 1886 by the “father” of gold dredges, Louis Gards. This dredge worked at Mutton Town Point on the Clutha River until 1889, an illustration of this features on the front label of our wine. A five acre vineyard was developed and planted in 2003 by owners Murray and Jennie Hughes, with a further five acres planted in 2008, both containing Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris grapevines. Their property also includes a small olive grove and hazelnut orchard.
In addition to our award winning 2010 Pinot Gris, the following selection of Pinot Noir are available : Perseverance Estate 2008 Pinot Noir Crafted from ripe hand-picked fruit in Alexandra, Central Otago. Berry fruits with a spicy backbone, give this wine elegance and length. Winemaker: David Grant Perseverance Estate 2009 Pinot Noir This vintage has aromas of violets, dried fruits and cherry. The palate has sweet plum, white pepper and spice with full mouth feel, fine tannin structure and a long warm finish. Enjoy now or cellar for 5-7 years. Winemaker: Antony Worch Perseverance Estate 2010 Pinot Noir With a lovely ruby colour, this wine shows a complex combination of strawberry, cherry and vanilla, typical of the Alexandra Basin grapes. The French oak integrates fully in the palate, bringing length and density together with the strong tannic structure. A wine to enjoy now but worth cellaring for 5-7 years. Winemaker: Antony Worch
