“Te Muna gives us an aromatic purity, elevated perfume, and fine, elegant tannins in our Pinot Noirs that are distinct to our small sub-region in Martinborough.” – Ben Tombs, Chief Winemaker
Our Te Muna Pinot Noir offers a story of refined complexity and depth—a wine that embodies the unique terroir of Martinborough. Our Pinot Noir blocks are located on the top terrace in our estate vineyard, with soil consisting of fine silty loam overlaying gravelly river stones and ancient volcanic ash. The unique soil composition, temperate climate, high winds, and large diurnal temperature swings create the perfect terroir to produce Pinot Noir that exudes savoury elegance, complex aromatics, and a sophisticated structure.
