Mount Brown Pinot Noir Waipara New Zealand

This is a well-balanced wine with great purity of raspberry and cherry fruit. Juicy, elegant and refreshing with soft tannins.

Lying in the foothills of Mount Brown in Waipara Valley, North Canterbury, this abandoned wine estate was rediscovered in 2002 by father and daughter team, Tony Rutherford and Catherine Keith, is something of a success story. Waipara has a greater variation in temperature between night and day than more northerly Marlborough, yields are much lower, and this valley is fast establishing a reputation for quality. Aromatic grape varieties such as Pinot Gris, and also Pinot Noir, are perfectly suited to Mount Brown’s small sheltered stony site and wine making here is of a very high order.
