In celebration of Domaine Thomson’s 20th Anniversary, we are proud to introduce the Explorer Reserve Pinot Noir 2020 — a truly once-in-a-lifetime release. Produced for the first and only time, this wine represents one of the rarest offerings in our history. With just 100 cases produced, the Explorer Reserve stands as a defining moment in our journey — an expression of two decades of passion, patience, and precision.

To honour our long-standing supporters, this wine is being released in carefully managed small lots throughout the year. We are now preparing a limited release of 191 bottles just before Christmas — held back especially for those who missed out earlier, or who wish to secure another bottle for their cellar. This Christmas allocation reflects our commitment to ensuring those who love and appreciate our wines always have fair access to something truly special.

We are honoured that Sam Kim has awarded this wine an outstanding 95 points:
“Gorgeously complex and seductive, the bouquet shows dark berry, dried herb, cured meat, mushroom, and nutmeg aromas, leading to a concentrated palate that’s juicy and velvety. Superbly framed by layers of polished tannins, making it sensually appealing and deeply satisfying. At its best: now to 2034.”

Mark Henderson of the Otago Daily Times has described it as:
“Serious, full of interest and smartly made.”
