Discover the grape variety: Pinot noir

Elegant reds, light in colour with silky tannins, showing strawberry, cherry and raspberry aromas, evolving to forest floor, mushroom and spice with age. Fresh acidity, delicate finish. Star of the Côte d'Or (Romanée-Conti, Chambertin, Volnay), pillar of Champagne (Blanc de Noirs) and signature of Oregon, Central Otago and Sonoma Coast. An early-ripening Burgundian variety, one of the world's greatest.

The wine region of Wairarapa

Southern tip of New Zealand's North Island, an hour east of Wellington, heart of the Martinborough appellation. Climate and soils compared to Burgundy. Pinot Noir is the signature red king (national reference with Central Otago): spicy, earthy profile with black cherry, plum, blackberry, undergrowth, pepper, thyme and a smoky touch, fine tannins and a dense palate. Taut, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc, precise buttery Chardonnay, floral Pinot Gris, peppery Syrah.


The wine region of North Island

New Zealand's North Island, warmer and more varied than the South Island. Bordeaux varieties and Pinot Noir as signatures. Merlot in Hawke's Bay as a supple red with notes of plum, ripe cherry, fresh herbs and a spicy touch, round tannins — blended with Cabernet and peppery Syrah. Fine Pinot Noir in Wairarapa/Martinborough (cherry, undergrowth).

The word of the wine: Metis (grape variety)

A grape variety resulting from the crossing of two varieties of the same species. For example, pinotage (a South African grape variety) is the result of crossing pinot noir and cinsault.
