VITICULTURE The fruit was grown on select sites with free draining soils giving good fruit maturity. This 2024 Pinot Noir has a deep bright colour and a rich bouquet of cherries and dark fruit. The Palate is medium bodied and carries very sweet fruit and ripe tannins. The wine is complex, supple and with a full bodied and long finish.
WINEMAKING Small batch ferments off several blocks were fermented warm and pressed off, after daily tasting, to find when the wine had gained optimum texture whence it was run off to tank for malolactic fermentation before partially going to barrel. Oak aging was in French barrels for 9 months. This wine is vegan friendly.
Juicy cherry, red berries with rich savoury notes.

Our Marlborough Vineyard – Awatere Valley
At the top of the South Island, Marlborough is internationally recognised for its crisp, aromatic wines – especially Sauvignon Blanc. It’s one of the sunniest, driest areas in New Zealand, with strong diurnal temperature swings that intensify flavour.
