Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"Dark cherry and wild blackberry define this brooding expression of Maude Pinot Noir, shaped by a season that favoured depth and concentration. Hints of bramble and smoke add aromatic complexity, while fine, graphite textured tannins bring structure to a plush, generous palate, leading to a long finish. A quietly powerful, perfumed Pinot."

Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, June 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"A captivating bouquet, precise and new, fresh and varietal, complex and detailed, subtle and intriguing. Aromas and flavours of fresh red cherry flesh and soil-smoke of stony clay, then lees and layers of wood spice and roses. As the wine opens out on the palate so too so the flavours of fruit and mineral, a sense of site and reflection of vintage. Excellent structure – tannins are polished, fine and in abundance, acidity carries flavours and tension. A lovely wine, very youthful and will develop slowly if you decide to cellar. Best drinking from 2028 through 2036+"
David Walker Bell, WineFolio.co.nz, October 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Maude Pinot Noir 2024 takes fruit from across their regional sites and is a quintessential Central Otago expression of Pinot Noir. Succulent and juicy, with chewy tannin and bright acidity showcasing the cherry, plum and cranberry flavours very well."
