Tasting Notes

This ripe yet herbal Pinot is now showing a savoury and earthy character. There's a lovely plump sensation on the mid palate and a tea leaf note that's characteristic of the 50% whole-bunch fruit used. Now developing in terms of flavour but still has a little chewy grip. Long, fragrant finish.

Score: 91

A selection of grapes from the mid-slope of Craggy Range’s Martinborough vineyard. A warm vintage allowed the use of 40% whole bunches in the ferment. Dense, rich wine with plum, red fruits and an interesting savoury dimension adding extra complexity. Classy wine that should develop well.

Score: 95

Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2013 Aroha Pinot Noir has a great core of black cherry and black raspberry notes with touches of rose petals, milk chocolate and cinnamon. Light to medium-bodied with delicate red berry and earth flavors, it has very fine tannins and balanced acid, finishing long. (92+ Points)
