Vintages New Release Collection – February 21, 2026

PINOT NOIR Marlborough Pinot Noirs are notably balanced and generous, with bright, exciting fruit flavours, spice, herbs, and ocean-influenced minerality. Those from Central Otago are grown in schist, pedogenic lime, alluvial gravel, rounded gravel, clay, silt and sand soils and are fruit-forward with robust tannins.

PINOT GRIS North Island wines are ripe and unctuous, while those from the South Island tend to be more aromatic and structured. Many producers add texture and depth to their wines through barrel ageing.
