Food, farming and wine – with over a century of experience in it the Borthwick family know a thing or two about it.

Paddy’s great-great grandfather Sir Thomas Borthwick, a butcher by trade, was a pioneer in the English meat trade. Paddy’s grandfather, PJ Borthwick, immigrated to NZ in 1936 and purchased the Te Whanga Station in the Wairarapa, some 100kms north of Wellington. To this day Te Whanga remains one of the country’s most famous cattle and sheep stations with 700 Angus stud cattle and 10,000 sheep grazing the 1600 hectares.

In 1985 Paddy decided it was time to diversify the Borthwick family business and get into the wine game! Leaving the Te Whanga Station in the capable hands of his family, Paddy headed off to Australia to earn his viticulturist and wine maker badges. In 1996 Paddy and his father established the 27 hectare Borthwick Vineyard and Winery nestled on an old stony river terrace.

This is Paddy’s 2022 Paper Road Pinot Noir. The Paper Road was a road that Paddy noticed on survey documents that was meant to be built and run right through the Borthwick Vineyard. The road was never built so instead Paddy named a Pinot after it!

A Triple Gold medal winner at wine competitions across the globe and closed to home scoring 90/100 and a Top Value Award with The Real Review’s Master of Wine Bob Campbell. Bob said “Light, fresh and zesty pinot noir with cherry, red rose petal, violet, fresh herbs and subtle spicy oak flavours supported by tangy acidity and fine, peppery tannins. Good food wine with appealing fruit purity”

Food ya say? Try pairing Paddy’s Paper Road Pinot with a nice cut of NZ beef or lamb!
