This is our village voice,  a pure pinot from the stony river bed of the Dry River feathered with a delicate take on home blocks old vine pinot.  Multiple ferments, multiple clones assembled as one.  The Cirrus site gives us delicate coloured wines yet contributes a mineral framework to the wine, whole bunch brings complexity.  This is a wine I'm proud to call my own and offer to you as a modern yet respectful take on the geology and sense of place our part of the world can offer.

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Cambridge Road

​Cambridge Road Vineyard is a small family farmed estate established in 1986. We focus our time and energy on perfecting and beautifying our land and cultivating it according to natural biodynamic and eco-farming principles. We believe in minimal intervention winemaking, low yields, and healthy living wines. We seek purity of voice in all our wines with a respect for the taste of place. We source organic fruit from other vineyards within the region and occasionally further afield to offer a wider selection of taste.

 

 
--------THE REGION--------

Martinborough

Martinborough is the region just north of the New Zealand capital city of Wellington at the base of the north island. It is Pinot Noir country down here without a doubt with a growing interest in aromatics and Bordeaux varietals. The stars are Ata Rangi, Dry River and Escarpment but there is a solid handful of excellent producers in this warm region.
