Made from blocks 9, 10 and 16 using 60% whole-bunches in the ferment and with 14 months in barrel. Intense and utterly delicious pinot noir, with a haunting perfume and silky tannins. Plum and cherry interwoven with floral, violet and a subtle savoury character. Refined power.

Aroha delivers an intriguing aromatic mix of wooden spices, dried herbs, dark red roses and dark cherries reminiscent of Burgundy. Vibrant dark cherry colour. Beguiling aromatics of dark rose, ripe cherry, and a hint of freshly trampled dry pine needles. The wine unfolds seamlessly across the palate with the dense core of ripe red fruits made to feel lithe by lovely acidity and complex fine tannins befitting of the growing maturity of our Pinot Noir vines
