About this wine

A Burgundian-style Pinot Noir from Martinborough, showcasing perfume, elegant fruit, and soft ripe tannins. Savoury with fresh earth, spice, orange rind, and bay leaf notes, complemented by forest floor, sumac, and mulberry aromas. 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. Cool climate and well-draining soils provide ideal conditions for slow ripening and elegant concentration. Winemaking Hand-harvested grapes crushed to open-top fermenters with minimal intervention. Maceration on skins for ~25 days, aged 11 months in French oak (27% new) followed by nine months in stainless steel. Bottled without fining or filtration. Tasting Notes Bright and juicy, medium-bodied, with savoury earth, spice, orange rind, bay leaf, forest floor, sumac, and mulberry aromas. Elegant and precise.
