Winemaker Description

It is the Tupari terroir that creates this unique wine. Warm daytime temperatures, a gentle north-facing slope, and clay bound gravels all build the flavours in our wine and result in an elegant Pinot Noir exhibiting earthiness and dark berry notes. This classic varietal expression is complemented by the Tupari style of elegance and multiple layers of flavours.

Helpful tip

Marlborough Pinot Noir tends to be a little lighter and fruitier than the wines of Central Otago or Burgundy. Always let the wine sit in a glass or decanter a little while before drinking to bring out the flavours.
