Situated 130 meters above sea level, this unique vineyard is located near Ward in Marlborough's far south east, nestled amongst the foothills of Mt Victoria where a cool micro climate, elevation and deep clay soils provide ideal conditions for growing Pinot Noir.

Crimson red in colour, this wine has intriguing aromas of forest floor, kirsch cherries and red liquorice with hints of subtle spice. The juicy palate shows a lovely purity with notes of vibrant red currant. This wine has an elegant tannin structure, complemented with a lingering savoury finish and pairs perfectly with game bird dishes or barbequed lamb rack.

“Gorgeously styled and seductively complex, showing ripe cherry, thyme, smoked game, almond and earthy mushroom characters, leading to a beautifully rounded palate offering excellent weight and soothing mouthfeel. Splendidly framed by silky texture and polished tannins, finishing long and satisfying.” - Wine Orbit

“Aromas and flavours of ripe red berries with cherry at the core then plum, some cranberry flavours and tart cherry. Firm and dry with plenty of mouthfeel from textured tannins, acidity makes a firm statement too. The core flavours of this wine are with fruits then oak then a stony mineral quality suggesting greywacke stone and silt. Well made, still youthful with plenty of development time ahead.” - Cam Douglas MS
