Today, around 330 acres are dedicated to vines, with all the fruit grown across the family’s own vineyards in the warmer Wairau Valley and the cooler, windier Awatere Valley. This Pinot Noir brings together fruit from O’Dwyer’s Farm in Wairau and Long Lane in Awatere, combining generous dark fruit with freshness and aromatic lift. Fermentation with naturally occurring yeasts is followed by 11 months in French oak, including 20% new barrels, adding gentle spice and texture without overwhelming Pinot Noir’s delicate character.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...
