What's more enticing than a sub $20 Marlborough Pinot Noir?
Twinkling ruby in colour, the bouquet is driven by dark cherry with plum and herb notes. Light to medium bodied, the palate is approachable with fresh red fruit flavours. Tannins are soft and elegant. Very moreish!

From the Winery
One of the driest growing seasons on record meant the guys in the vineyard had a dream run and disease pressure was low. Whilst the summer was dry, temperatures were actually fairly moderate and we ended up around average for heat accumulation for the season. This allowed perfect, slow ripening for our Pinot Noir and the vibrant fruit flavours and natural acidity for which Marlborough is famous were retained.
The grapes that went into this wine were sourced from multiple vineyard sites throughout the Wairau Valley in Marlborough. Diversity of grape source and clonal material allowed us to make a complex and complete wine with great fruit character and depth of flavour. Grapes were cold soaked, fermented in small parcels and aged for nine months in French barriques.
