Oraterra Martinborough Pinot Noir 2023 $80
Wilco Lam’s first Pinot Noir for Martinborough’s new Oraterra brand is a lightly, yet elegantly structured example that’s had 18-24 days on skins inside large, 100% new, predominantly Austrian 500L oak puncheons. Sourced from clones 5, 10/5 and Abel from the McCreanor vineyard in central Martinborough, the result is a wine scented with dark rhubarb, baking spices, fresh cherry flavours and earthy, softly-prickly textures. It has it’s own voice and is quite unique amongst more commercial Martinborough pinot noir. Local Martinborough artist Leanne Williams created the artwork on the label from Crystal Chain Gang.
