A warm, frost free Spring lead to early flowering in the Marlborough growing region. Rainfall was above-average and sporadic over the season, however very little rain fell from late December through to harvest. This give optimal ripening and exceptional fruit quality.

Marlborough Pinot Noir sourced from the Waihopai Valley. Harvest late March 2020. Fermented in closed tank stainless steel fermenters an aged in seasoned French oak barrels. Blended and bottled in November 2020.
