Escarpment Pinot Noir 2022
A Burgundian-style Pinot Noir from Martinborough, showcasing perfume, elegant fruit, and soft ripe tannins.

Bright, juicy, and medium-bodied, this wine captures the purity and tension of the 2022 vintage. Vineyard & Terroir Sourced from top vineyards across Martinborough, with 75% from the Te Muna Road sub-region.
