From Lawson's Dry Hills in New Zealand’s Marlborough, the The Pioneer Pinot Noir 2019 is a refined 100% Pinot Noir sourced from select parcels in the Southern Valleys on alluvial gravel and clay-loam soils that capture the region's cool maritime influences for vibrancy and depth. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2019 vintage—characterized by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet fresh fruit—undergo individual fermentation in small open-top fermenters with cold maceration and spontaneous wild yeasts, followed by 10 months' maturation in French oak casks and an additional 4 months' barrel aging after blending to enhance structure and complexity. Committed to sustainable viticulture since 1978, this production yields a deep ruby wine with garnet edges and approachable elegance.

Tasting Notes A mouthfilling, savoury Marlborough Pinot Noir with deep ripe cherry and plum aromas, offering a structured mid-palate of spice and nutty complexity, finishing with soft tannins and a clean, lingering freshness. The nose reveals ripe cherry, plum, and hints of spice and violet. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and harmonious, with fine tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of red berries, earth, and subtle oak, leading to a long, graceful finish.

Awards and Accolades The 2019 The Pioneer Pinot Noir earned 93 points from James Suckling for its deep, ripe cherry and plum aromas with spice and nutty complexity.

Serving and Cellaring Serve at 14-16°C with 30 minutes of decanting to enhance aromas. Ideal with roasted poultry, mushroom risotto, or charcuterie. Enjoy now through 2030, developing greater earthy and silky nuances over time.
