Description

Irresistibly moreish with radiant sweet fruit at its heart—

bright, floral, and brooding with earth, moss, vine bark, and the

signature of our old vines speaking through the soil. Fragrant

spices emerge, including whispers of anise. Black cherry and

soft black doris plum unfold with suppleness and generosity,

carrying incredible length across the palate. The wine is

succulent and full-bodied, with vanillin oak beautifully framing

the fruit. Smoky toast rises like rain steaming off a hot road,

grounding the wine’s elegance in place.

Beneath the fruit and charm lies a substantial structure - a

framework that will allow this Pinot Noir to broaden and polish

through bottle age, building complexity as hydrolysis unveils

layers of aromatics over time. The texture speaks to our terroir;

minerality provides the skeleton, while the wine’s architecture

ensures graceful evolution.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER 

Dry River

The name Dry River carries an historical significance as the name of one of the earliest Wairarapa sheep stations (ca. 1877). This was later sold off by the Seddon government and renamed Dyerville, leaving the renamed Waihora River (circa 1900) and the renamed Dyerville Rd (1994) - both after Dry River - as the only reminders of this part of our pastoral farming history. In 1979 Neil and Dawn McCallum planted a vineyard a few kilometres from Dyerville in a very dry, gravely and free-draining area now called the 'Martinborough Terrace' and they took the name Dry River for the vineyard and wines in what was to become another chapter of Martinborough's farming history. Their dream was to produce individual, high quality regional wines which faithfully reflect the 'terroir', vintage and are suitable for cellaring.
