Description
Our Pinot Noir is produced from our North and Middle Wairau Valley vineyards, planted over 20 years ago - very special sites composed of alluvial river terrace soils, crushed stones and clay. Simply put, we’ve perfected a delicious full flavoured wine by slowing the grape plant’s ability to make sugar but not its ability to make flavour. And it’s all done in the vineyard. No chemistry tricks or genetic engineering wizardry here. Just sustainably grown, naturally produced lower alcohol wine.

“It is gently lifted on the nose showing dark cherry, strawberry, olive and dried herb characters,
leading to a juicy palate that is light and smooth. The wine offers sweet berry flavours together with elegant savoury notes, finishing pleasingly dry. It is mellow and flowing with complex flavours. At its best: now to 2021.
