The winery is best known as the benchmark for age-worthy New Zealand Chardonnay, and its Village tier offers an approachable window into the Brajkovich family's style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e100% Pinot Noir, typically drawn from both the Kumeu estate and the family's Rays Road vineyard in Hawke's Bay (acquired in full in 2017). Expect a bright, cherry-red wine with lifted red fruit aromas, delicate spice and floral notes. Cool, round and fruity on the palate, with a touch of chalky tannin that keeps the finish dry and refreshing — a pure, juicy expression of Pinot Noir for any occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand-harvested and fully destemmed before crushing. Indigenous-yeast fermentation with a total cuvaison of around two weeks and twice-daily remontage, then matured for seven months in tank to preserve fresh fruit and aromatic lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVintages may vary.
