'Aroha', meaning 'love' in Te Reo Maori is based on two unique parcels of Pinot Noir grapes grown in rocky soils at the Te Muna Road vineyard in Martinborough.
These special parcels, including one of the legendary 'Abel' clone, are selected for 'Aroha' because of their individual expression of the vineyard, complex aromatic profile and sensational savoury, earth-bound texture and length.
Vinification
Combination of open top stainless steel tanks and French oak cuves.
Maturation
10 months in French oak barriques.
Appearance
Vibrant dark cherry colour.
Aroma
Beguiling aromatics of dark rose, ripe cherry, and a hint of freshly trampled dry pine needles.
Palate
The wine unfolds seamlessly across the palate with the dense core of ripe red fruits made to feel lithe by lovely acidity and complex fine tannins befitting of the growing maturity of our Pinot Noir vines.
