The 2022 Village Pinot Noir is a beautifully expressive wine showcasing the synergy between Kumeu River’s limestone-rich Rays Road vineyard in Hawke’s Bay and the warmer, fruit-driven sites in Kumeu. With 74% of the fruit sourced from Rays Road and 26% from Kumeu, this Pinot Noir combines the elegance and minerality of high-altitude clay-limestone soils with the depth and roundness typical of Auckland fruit.

Bright cherry-red in colour, the wine opens with lifted aromas of fresh red berries and subtle floral notes. The palate is vibrant and silky, revealing juicy red fruit flavours framed by a fine chalky tannin structure and a refreshing, dry finish. Elegant, pure, and easy-drinking, this Pinot is a versatile companion to a wide range of dishes, from charcuterie to roasted poultry.
