Aroha is a word in the Maori language of New Zealand, meaning love. Reflective of its namesake, Aroha is handcrafted with passion from unique parcels of Pinot Noir, including one of the renowned Abel clones. The pedigree of particular blocks in our Te Muna vineyard is paramount to the quality of this wine.
At over 20 years of age, the balance in our best blocks, identified by a narrow band of clay over stone, straddles that line between power and beauty. When crafting this wine, we look for the quality of tannin to be the ultimate driver, and with Aroha, the velvety texture provides unmistakable length. Celebrate International Pinot Noir Day this Saturday.
