Vineyard

Named in recognition of Martinborough's pioneering founder, John Martin, this wine is sourced from selected vineyards on the Martinborough Terrace. The region's free-draining alluvial soils, cool nights, and dry climate encourage concentrated fruit with perfume, freshness, and fine tannin structure.

Wine

A refined and expressive Pinot Noir with aromas of dark cherry, red plum, dried rose, and savory spice. The palate is layered and silky, with polished tannins, lively acidity, and a persistent earthy finish.

Food Pairings

• Duck breast with cherry glaze
• Herb-roasted lamb loin
