Anchorage Estate Pinot Noir 2024

Estate & Philosophy

Motueka Winemakers and Growers is a proudly family-owned and operated winery, based in beautiful Nelson wine region. Our hands-on approach and deep local roots drive everything we do — from vine to bottle. We believe great wine starts with great land, and the rich Motueka soils, coastal breezes, and consistently high sunshine hours offer the perfect environment for crafting expressive, aromatic varietals. Our goal is simple: to create vibrant, everyday wines that over-deliver on quality, character, and pure drinking pleasure.

Winemaking

Initial hand plunging in open fermenters for 4 weeks then small portion of maturation in 1- & 2-year-old French oak barrels, with majority of wine maturing in older French oak barrel's for 10 months

Tasing Note

Aromas of bramble fruit, barrel char, nutmeg, and cedar lead into polished red currant and ripe cherry. Bright, fruit-driven layers are complemented by subtle spice and savoury stalky notes. The palate is soft and elegant, with barrel spice and velvety, ripe tannins providing structure. Juicy and ripe, yet smooth and comforting, it’s a well-balanced and satisfying Pinot.
