This wine strikes a harmonious balance between fruit-forward appeal and subtle spice, making it devilishly good.

| Winery | The Devil's Staircase wines are inspired by the winding road leading from Queenstown to Kingston along the shores of Lake Wakatipu. Rockburn takes its name from the rugged, rock-strewn, burn-scarred landscape of Central Otago. Located on the 45th parallel, Rockburn shares a similar climate to Burgundy. These Central Otago vineyards are surrounded by mountains to the west, whose seaward slopes are rainforest, receiving 5,000mm of rain per annum. To the east is a barren, moon-like landscape that receives less than 25mm of rain yearly. Situated between these extremes lie the Rockburn vineyards, which are producing Pinot Noir of stunning quality |
