- This is a fine, ethereal Pinot Noir with evocative notes of lavender, jasmine, and sweet spice underpinned by ripe, red-berried fruits. The silky tannins enhance the flow to a supremely elegant finish.
This fruit was hand-harvested and carefully sorted. Using gentle extraction methods, the grapes were 100% destemmed and fermented with selected and indigenous yeasts in open-top stainless steel tanks and French oak vats. The wine was aged in French oak barriques for 10 months, of which 21% were new.

| Winery | The grapes come from the Te Muna Road vineyard in the Wairarapa subregion of Martinborough, in the southeastern corner of the North Island. The vineyard consists of two distinct terraces. The upper terrace comprises old, stony clay-infused soils perfect for Pinot Noir. The cooler climate of Martinborough ensures the wine is aromatic with steely minerality, while the rocky soils impart intensity to the fruit. The region’s warm, dry summers and mild winters lead to complex and structured wines with subtle aromatics and an elegant finish. The vines are VSP-trained to allow appropriate airflow and capture sunlight. Pruning techniques are being evolved to improve sap flow and reduce trunk disease. Working towards a more organic approach, herbicides are being minimised, cover crops are being introduced, and the vineyard team is moving towards a more organic-based spray programme. The grapes are hand-harvested. |
