Winemaker Notes

This wine was grown on the Barton Vineyard, Huangarua Road, Martinborough from vines 23 years old. A combination of deep alluvial gravels which the Martinborough Terraces are renowned for and a blend of many clones grown in a very sheltered spot always rewards us with a classic example of New World Pinot Noir.

It has a unique site derived complexity and texture combined with black cherry/plum fruit flavors. It will continue to develop for up to 10 years and will always be a wonderful counterpart to any game food.
