Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Dark-fleshed cherry, rose florals, and vibrant red and blue berry fruits layered with exotic spice. Deep, ripe bramble flavours unfold over a complex savoury core, supported by fine, spicy tannins that promise excellent aging potential.

Established in 1984, Te Kairanga is an important part of the Martinborough wine story. Our home vineyards are planted on land that was originally owned by the founding father of Martinborough, John Martin. While our land is steeped in history, our winemaking is very much focused on the future.

Grapes for this wine are selected from our Home and McLeod Vineyards on the Martinborough Terrace, one of New Zealand’s most coveted winegrowing sub-regions. Once a riverbed, it features deep ancient alluvial gravel soils. Our vineyards are sustainably farmed.

A near-perfect growing season for quality, though yields were reduced by unsettled flowering weather. Early spring growth and a dry season were followed by poor fruit set due to a prolonged, uneven flowering. January brought hot, dry conditions that set the stage for a strong vintage, while the cool, dry February and March preserved acidity and freshness. The small crop was harvested in ideal weather, producing concentrated fruit with intense flavour, moderate alcohol, and fine acidity.

Under the direction of Chief Winemaker, John Kavanagh, our winemaking philosophy places a premium on the character of each vineyard. Crafted from our Martinborough terrace vineyards, the fruit for Runholder Pinot Noir is derived from six clones, including the famed Abel clone. It was picked block by block and fermented in small batches and hand plunged. The wine was aged for 10 months in French oak (17% new) with balanced oak treatment and minimal fining and filtration to help preserve both varietal character and the inimitable personality of our terroir."

Te Kairanga sits at the heart of Martinborough’s wine story, its vines rooted in the very land farmed by town founder John Martin in the 1880s. Revitalised in the 1980s by a new generation of pioneers, the estate continues to realise the potential of this special site. Pinot Noir is the beating heart, complemented by small, characterful parcels of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Riesling that showcase the region’s cool-climate abundance. Once a place known for sheep, Martinborough became a magnet for the wine-curious—and Te Kairanga embodies that spirit. Winemaker John Kavanagh moved here specifically for Pinot Noir, guiding wines that are detailed, site-true and unmistakably Martinborough.
