Vineyard of the Year – NZ Organic Wine Awards 2023
Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Consistent full red colour. Penetrative red fruit aromatics expand outwards; voluminous, with fruit cake, briar and blossom. Crisply contoured sweet red and dark fruits coat energetically to a fine mineral finish."

93/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, March 2022 (2019 Vintage)
"A blend of four vineyards, one from Pisa and three from Bendigo. Fermented with 10% whole bunches. It's a fresh, vibrant and delicately fruity pinot noir with black cherry, red rose, spice and anise flavours. A taut, attractive wine that is delicious now but may develop further with bottle age."
5 Stars Michael Cooper (2018 Vintage)
"Drinking well now, the 2018 vintage is a blend of Pisa (50 per cent), Bendigo (45 per cent) and Gibbston (5 per cent) grapes, hand-picked and matured for 10 months in French oak casks (20 per cent new). Bright ruby, it is mouthfilling, sweet-fruited and supple, with concentrated cherry, plum and spice flavours, nutty, savoury notes adding complexity, and a rich, smooth finish."
