2022 Martinborough Vineyards Te Tera Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir
Its Origins
Free-draining soils, hot summers and long, dry autumns make Martinborough the perfect region for growing traditional cool-climate wines. Founded in 1980, Martinborough Vineyard was a trailblazer in the region and the first to plant the variety for which the region is best known, Pinot Noir. MV now lay claim to the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the district. Since the first vintage was released by pharmacist-turned-winemaker Russell Schultz in 1984, they have consistently produced world-class wines from the home block, Martinborough Terraces blocks, and more recently, the Burnt Spur vineyards. A big move towards organic/sustainable vineyards is currently in place.
What The Critics Say
92/100 James Suckling
"Plenty of attractive strawberry and and orange peel aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with soft tannins and a fresh finish. Juicy. Flavorful yet reserved. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
93/100 Bob Campbell MW (2021 vintage)
"Weighty, textural wine that is deliciously drinkable now but should respond positively to a little bottle age. A mix of floral and fruit flavours with red rose, violet, black Doris plum, dark cherry, fresh herbs and spicy oak characters."
93/100 Cameron Douglas MS (2021 vintage)
"Vivid aromas of dark cherry and blacy plums, anise and moderately toasty barrel scents, there’s adelicate lifted clay soil quality adding complexity and intensity. Fruity, plush and ripe, fresh and dry, fine velevty tannins with a chalky texture, plenty of acidity and core fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet. Delicious, youthful, taut and dry. A wine for the cellar or to accompany food. Best drinking from early 2024 through 2029+. A wine that punches well above its weight presenting excellent value."
