About This Wine
Planted between 1993 and 2005 and farmed organically. Some of the deepest free-draining gravels on the famed Martinborough Terrace. Delivering power with elegance which typifies Pinot Noir from this Cru. Handpicking, gentle handling, and careful oak selection ensure we remain faithful in the expression of our site and of every vintage. Built to cellar.
“Vibrant, youthful deep ruby. Personality this Pinot does not lack! Big on the dark cherry and big on the baked plum. Not without some subtlety though with spice, herb, and earth all playing important supporting roles. Nice bit of smokey, toasty oak in the background as well. Bold and very present, no mistaking the Martinborough Terrace power and majesty. Lovely purity of flavour with sweet dark cherries and earthy mineral notes. Abundant silky tannins through the mid palate with some extra heft on the finish although quite fresh and agile as well, definitely in good shape, well muscled but not over the top. In a good space for drinking early but recommend decanting. Best drinking from 2024 for a decade or more. ” — Joel Watson, Winemaker
