‘Map Maker’ Pinot Noir is crafted from carefully selected parcels of fruit grown on unique sites within the famous Rapaura and Brancott areas of Marlborough. Our mixture of multiple individual parcels, 4 different clones and a range of soil profiles provide us with great variation of fruit, each with unique flavour and tannin structure.
This Pinot Noir has lovely aromas of ripe black cherries and wild violets. In the mouth the wine has a grainy tannin structure and is intensely flavoured with sweet cherries, cedarwood and savoury characters such as dried herbs and wild game flavours. This is a sophisticated Pinot Noir with an ‘old world’ elegance and mineral lingering finish.
