One of the best Pinot Noir's in NZ.

Steve Davie could be said is a perfectionist and this is obvious when you taste his only wine.  From his own exciting site in Bannockburn, he nuture's everything to build a Pinot with authenticity, regionality and high end quality,

"Planted in 2002, Doctors Flat is a single 3-hectare vineyard in Bannockburn. The schist subsoil was ground off the Cairnmuir Mountains by glacial ice and deposited here about 480,000 years ago. The glacial action and millennia of weathering have generated an abundance of clay and fine silt in the vineyard gravel. We know soil texture drives wine texture and this vineyard produces Pinot Noir with density, fine tannin and great texture.

We farm organically to help grow and sustain soil biology. In turn the soil microlife harvest and transport nutrient and minerals to the vine. It’s this connection between vineyard and vine that gives Doctors Flat Pinot Noir its character and sense of place.
