Producer Information

Tá Moko is the bold body art of the Maori people, worn on the face it is a living symbol of identity and origin. Today New Zealand is also identified in the creation of its instantly recognisable style of aromatic Sauvignon Blanc and world class Pinot Noir. Relationships with established growers in the region allows us to capture wines of distinction that reflect Marlborough’s modern heritage and style.

Wine Making

Pinot Noir came from 2 vineyards - 87% Rapaura Gravels and 13% Omaka Valley. After green thinning on the vine the fruit was harvested over a period of 10 days from late March through to early April. Each parcel was kept separate and fermented in small open top tanks and hand plunged up to 4 times daily. Post pressing, wine was sent to a mixture of stainless steel and French oak for Malo and ageing.

Tasting Note

This Pinot Noir reveals a bright nose of fresh cherries and raspberry jelly. On the palate there`s dark cherry flavours with a lick of oak.

Food Matching
