OTU (pronounced o-two) is Otuwhero Estate and it’s named after the mighty Otuwhero River that runs through the lower valleys of Marlborough. This ancient river provides Otu with vineyards full of rich alluvial gravels and clay soils and along with its remote and rugged coastal setting it’s perfect for producing wines full of intense, ripe flavours!

Overseeing the OTU winery team is leading New Zealand female winemaker Anna Remond. Anna spent some 15 years with the world famous Oyster Bay winemaking team and has experience under her belt with vintages in Sancerre and Burgundy in France. Not only a bloody good winemaker, Anna is a mentor for NZ’s “Women in Wine Programme” supporting women to develop their careers in winemaking and reach their full potential.

This is their Otu Pinot Noir and it’s a great value, every day drinking Marlborough style full of those typical juicy cherry, dark berry and plum flavours. Marlborough has often been the go-to region if you’re looking for sheer bang for buck Pinot and this is a good example!
