Match With

Match with charcoal-seared duck breast, wild mushrooms and a lick of blackcurrant jus. Or better yet, a slow-cooked modern hāngī—where earth, smoke and fire do the talking.

Wine Details

Nelson lends itself to sophisticated, savoury Pinot Noir.
Pinot for cool nights and roaring fires, for leather couches and interesting conversation.

Juicy, delicious and deeply typical of our Home Block, the 2023 vintage hums with quiet confidence.

A visceral note runs through the wine, layered with warm smoke and manuka forest. Black plum, wild cherry and dried thyme emerge, wrapped in a lingering savoury perfume.

It’s dark, smouldering and long. A Pinot that feels subterranean—textural, mineral, and seductive in its restraint.

"A rather fantastic bouquet of complexity and intrigue, varietal intensity and true sense of site and mature vines. ."
