A substantial Pinot with an unsubstantial price.  

We have been given the opportunity to promote this very good Pinot. If you can be bothered to read into the reviews of this.  You will be surprised how well respected this under $30 Martinborough Pinot Noir is.

"Made with the same handcrafted discipline as Martinborough Vineyard, Te Tera Pinot Noir 2024 is an expressive, vivid and eloquent interpretation of one of New Zealand’s most venerable wine regions. Dark cherry and ripe plum with hints of spice and earth. Vibrant and textural, with a lush mid-palate from clay-grown clones, supple tannins, and a long, savoury finish. Winery notes (2024 Vintage)

"Offering fabulous fruit purity with stylish complexity, the wine displays aromas of Black Doris plum, violet, olive, and warm spice on the nose. The palate is equally satisfying with excellent weight and silky flow, wonderfully framed by finely polished
tannins. Harmonious and delectably appealing. At its best: now to 2032." 5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2025 (2024 Vintage)

"Martinborough Vineyard’s ‘second’ wine is an earlier-drinking style made from its younger vineyards (between nine and 24 years old) south of the village, on clay and alluvial soils. Made in a very similar manner to the main label (100% destemmed)
but with just slightly less time in oak, only 15% of which is new. Juicy ripe strawberry, raspberry and blueberry, spice and orange blossom with a supple, vibrant palate. This is very attractive now but has the region’s characteristic tannin profile and savoury dry finish adding structure and definition. Captures the essence of Martinborough Pinot Noir very well." 92/100  Emma Jenkins MW, Decanter UK, October 2025 (2024 Vintage)
