Te Kairanga Runholder Martinborough Pinot Noir 2023
Region: Martinborough, New Zealand
Varietal: Pinot Noir
A nod to pioneering Martinborough ‘runholder’ and Martinborough namesake John Martin, this Pinot Noir is sourced from our home vineyards planted on his original land holdings. Runholder Pinot Noir has complex notes of dark cherries that mingle with aromatic spices and classic Martinborough savoury, earthy notes, while the palate displays vibrant fruit flavours finishing with fine silky tannins.
Tasting Notes
The Runholder Pinot Noir is derived from six clones grown on our Martinborough Estate. Beautiful dark red hues lead to an aromatic flurry of complex cherries, spice and classic Martinborough savoury notes. The palate is velvety and complex with vibrant fruit depth, refined tannins, and a long finish.
