This is our third release of a Pinot Noir we have made from the esteemed Clayvin vineyard, and we have labelled it under our SV5096 designation which recognises its organic certification and its special status as one of our SV wines. We feel very privileged to be allowed to have some fruit from this very special part of Marlborough’s history. The Clayvin Vineyard was first established in 1991 and was the first significant hillside vineyard in Marlborough. It is now under the careful custodianship of the Giesen family and is fully certified organic with BioGro NZ.

Attractive savoury oak. The palate is taut and bright with a core of dense red fruit. Elegant and refined. A classy, restrained style that will bloom with time.

Subtle bouquet of dark cherry. Big and plush with vibrant dark cherry fruit. Finishes a touch closed and chalky.
