From a small winery near Martinborough on Te Muna Road, which runs a strip of rocky bench above the Huangarua River, this pale, maturing pinot noir has a lovely fragrant, floral and spicy nose with strawberry-cherry jam fruit. It is light to mid-weight, supple and creamy with fine underlying minerality, acidity and warmth. Chalky tannins provide ballast. Impressive flavour intensityhere, and excellent length. Now to 2026.

It's beautifully composed and fragrant, showing blackcurrant, blueberry, olive and cedar characters on the nose, followed by a flavoursome palate that's both
generous and structured, making it gorgeously appealing.

Intense cherry color. Black fruits and red berries aromas combined with great minerality, spices and balsamics notes. Full body wine, round, and very well balanced with fresh fruitiness and elegant tannins.
