Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Another Single Vineyard Pinot from the Mt Maude pedigree. Six rows of Dijon Pinot Noir clones were planted in 2000 and dedicated to Dawn and Terry's grandchildren. Now, not unlike the grandchildren themselves, they're reaching a level of maturity and personalities are starting to emerge. We enjoy harnessing those personalities into a Pinot Noir respectful of the Mt Maude name, albeit defined by vibrancy and vitality that leaps out of the glass at you.
Beautifully scented with violets, dark cherry, bramble and dried herb aromas. Medium – full bodied with layers of dark fruits and fine tannins."
David Walker Bell, WineFolio.co.nz, October 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Maude Kid’s Block 2024 showcases the treasured 10/5 clone that really comes into its own in its teenage years. A bright burgundy colour in the glass, and has a glossy, generous width. Often my favourite of the single vineyards – with spice, juice, tannin and acidity working in a seamless harmony."

93+/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"Delightfully fresh, varietal, fruity and earthy with a mineral core and flavours of dark cherry and baked raspberry, there’s some layers of baking spice and sweet vanilla and clove spices. The lees add texture and complexity. Crisp and dry, firm tannins and backbone of acidity woven through fruit ripeness and mineral flavours are a signature of the Maude style. Delicious, new and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2032."
