This is Martinborough Pinot that delivers in spades. Dark cherry, spice and violets, firm structure and density, it’s all there. Organic, hand-picked fruit was destemmed, wild yeast fermented and aged in old French oak for 11 months. 

Planted on Te Muna Road in 1996, John Douglas and his family farm this 12 hectare vineyard organically, having attained Biogro certification in 2013. They're dedicated to Pinot Noir, with a small 1 hectare plot planted with Riesling.
