Revel in the vivacious character of this fruit-driven Pinot Noir—a wine that exudes vitality and charm. Redolent with the enticing aroma of abundant red cherries, accompanied by the delicate infusion of clove and cinnamon baking spices, it captivates the senses from the first scent. On the palate, experience a delightful dance of cranberries and fresh raspberries, intertwined with the richness of freshly roasted coffee beans and embraced by the velvety texture of cocoa-like tannins, creating a harmonious symphony of flavours.

A near-perfect growing season paved the way for the 2020 harvest, presenting fruit in pristine condition. The summer was characterized by dry conditions and abundant sunshine during the day, complemented by the cool nights typical of Marlborough. Optimal yields were achieved, and the stable autumn weather afforded us the opportunity to extend the hangtime of the fruit on the vines, ensuring the attainment of physiological ripeness.

The Private Bin Pinot Noir is meticulously crafted from a blend of select vineyards situated in the Awatere and Wairau Valleys. The diverse soil types and meso-climates inherent to these regions contribute distinct tannin structures, flavors, and aromas, enriching the complexity of the wine.
