“Everyone’s favourite. Planted in 1999 our Lease Block vineyard produces exceptional grapes year after year.”
It was certainly a favourite of the judges at the International Wine Challenge in London – one of the world’s leading and most influential wine competitions on the planet.
In the 2026 IWC this little beauty from Martinborough took out FOUR (yes, 4!) Trophies to add to a simply jaw dropping list of gongs already to its name…
Trophy Champion Martinborough Pinot Noir (IWC 2026)
Trophy Champion NZ Pinot Noir (IWC 2026)
Trophy Champion NZ Red (IWC 2026)
Trophy Champion International Pinot Noir (IWC 2026)
Gold medal, 96/100 (IWC 2026)
Gold medal (NZ Int’l Wine Show 2025)
5 Stars & No.2 NZ Pinot Noir (Cuisine magazine 2026)
Not only was it judged the best Martinborough Pinot…it was then judged the best overall NZ Pinot…THEN put against the other Trophy winning reds from New Zealand it was judged the best…THEN it took out the Trophy for Champion Pinot from every other Champion Pinot winner! Absolutely breathtaking stuff!
The judges said “A rich, ripe Martinborough Pinot with ample strawberry and cherry fruit as well as some silkiness. Mouthfilling and expressive with lots of drinkability.”
As you’d expect it’s sold out in a flash – we managed to grab what we could, when we could! Get in quick is all we can say. Drink now until 6-8 years from vintage.
