Windrush Organic Pinot Noir 2021
A graceful Marlborough Pinot crafted with organic fruit and minimal intervention. Bright summer berries, plum and dark cherry aromas are lifted by baking spice and a touch of wild mushroom earthiness. Silky tannins carry the juicy fruit into a smooth mocha finish. Refined yet vibrant, this is an ideal partner to roast duck, lamb or mushroom risotto.

The Sheild Wines Pinot Noir 2023
A Nelson Pinot Noir of depth and complexity, blending clones Able, Pommard, Dijon 777 and 115, and 10/5.

Bottled unfined and unfiltered, it offers texture, length and elegance.

Smooth and savoury, it finishes with elegance and length, equally rewarding now or with careful cellaring.
