Martinborough - Single Vineyard

Wine Maker Notes:

A combination of deep alluvial gravels which the Martinborough Terraces are renowned for, and a blend of many clones grown in a very sheltered spot always rewards us with a classic example of New World Pinot Noir. It has a unique site-derived complexity and texture combined with black cherry/plum fruit flavors. It will continue to develop for up to 10 years and will always be a wonderful counterpart to any game food.

94 Wine Enthusiasts

"From 30-year-old, close planted vineyards in the Martinborough Terraces, Te Rehua is a spicy and highly aromatic wine. Vibrant red berries, cinnamon, white pepper, florals and a mushroomy, umami note burst from the glass. The palate is elegantly framed, and the juicy fruit reigns, even amid structured, savory tannins. Drink now.."

92 Wine Advocate

"The perfumed, floral 2019 Te Rehua Pinot Noir features scents of rose petals, red raspberries and tea leaves. Medium to full-bodied, it's wiry on the palate, with ample concentration and firm tannins, accentuated by bright acids. The finish ends up being taut and slightly astringent, in need of cellaring to reach its best.."

94 James Suckling

"Dried-strawberry, citrus, cream and crushed-stone aromas follow through to a full body with firm, chewy tannins that are tight and long. Reserved at the end. Pure fruit, but shy. Drink after 2023."
