2020 Lawson’s Dry Hills Pinot Noir, Marlborough

Lawson’s Dry Hills Pinot Noir is produced in Marlborough, New Zealand, a region renowned for its vibrant, cool-climate wines. Marlborough’s diverse microclimates and well-draining soils create ideal conditions for Pinot Noir, enabling rich fruit expression balanced by fresh acidity. Lawson’s Dry Hills has been crafting wines that highlight the character and elegance of Marlborough since its establishment in 1992.

Founded by Ross and Barbara Lawson, Lawson’s Dry Hills began as a small family venture, focused on making premium Marlborough wines. The winery is committed to sustainability and quality, consistently producing wines that reflect Marlborough’s unique terroir. The Pinot Noir is crafted from select vineyard blocks, showcasing the finesse and depth that the region’s cool climate brings to this variety.
