2024 Aroha

Te Muna Road, Martinborough

Perfumed | Ethereal | Cherry

‘Aroha’ meaning ‘love’ in te reo Māori. Reflective of its namesake, Aroha is handcrafted with passion from unique parcels of Pinot Noir. The pedigree of particular blocks in our Te Muna vineyard is paramount to the quality of this wine. At over 25 years of vine age, our best blocks are identified by a narrow band of clay over stone, which contributes to the balance between power and beauty.

When crafting this wine, we look for the quality of tannin to be the ultimate driver, and with Aroha, the velvet line provides unmistakeable length.

This release is available to our Prestige Wine Club members only.

Te Muna Road, Martinborough

The Te Muna Road Vineyard is located some 7 kilometres outside of the Martinborough township.

Two distinct terraces make up the vineyard, the higher comprising very old, stony clay-infused soils perfect for Pinot Noir. The lower terrace of younger stony soils interleaved with limestone provides an excellent environment for Sauvignon Blanc. The cooler climate of Martinborough ensures the wine is aromatic with steely minerality, while the rocky soils give intensity to the fruit.

The region’s warm, dry summers and mild winters lead to complex and structured wines with subtle aromatics and an elegant finish.
