Bright red berries, juicy cherry fruit and a gentle thread of spice are everything you want from Nelson Pinot Noir, all wrapped up in a soft, easy-going package. There’s enough savoury complexity to keep things interesting, but the real appeal is its drinkability. Silky, fresh and wonderfully balanced.

Te Mania has been farming organically in Nelson since the early 1990s, long before it became fashionable. Family-owned and BioGro certified, the winery has built its reputation on producing expressive, approachable wines that reflect the region's sunny climate and coastal influence. Their focus has always been simple: healthy vineyards, minimal intervention and wines made to be enjoyed rather than analysed.
