Wine Production
Part of the Pinot Noir fruit for this Reserve Pinot Noir comes from two vineyards with deep clay-based soils in the Wairau Valley. Rutherford and Cowley are in the sheltered north-facing Ben Morven Valley. The remaining Pinot Noir comes from the cooler Awatere Valley, both with freedraining windblown silt loess soils adjacent to the Awatere River.
