Rod Easthope Martinborough Pinot Noir 2018
About the wine
Incredible Kiwi Pinot from the former head winemaker of Craggy Range
- Rod downed tools at one of the best wineries in New Zealand to work for you. Why? To make you wines like this Pinot Noir.
- Martinborough is Pinot Noir paradise... perched on the bottom tip of New Zealand's North Island. The long warm days give the grapes flavour, and blustery sea breezes (nature's air conditioning) keep everything cool and fresh
- A delicious and punchy Pinot Noir with blackcurrant, black cherry, and some serious brooding Burgundian texture. Absolutely divine.

Serving advice
A large glass and serve it at cellar temperature (i.e. around 18 degrees C). Allow it to warm and aerate in the large glass and observe the flavours unfolding
Food match
You can't go wrong with Duck Confit. But Pinot Noir is pretty versatile when it comes to food.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Rod Easthope
- Rod downed tools at one of New Zealand's most iconic wineries, to set-up-shop alone, and luckily for us, he knows the whereabouts of the very best grapes that Hawke's Bay and Central Otago have to offer.
- He has rave reviews from journalists, wines dripping in medals and oodles of Parker Points under his belt, and thanks to Angel funding and backing, he's now making wines exclusively for you.
- Using his prize fund from being crowned your Winemaker of the Year 2014, Rod was able to add a stunning Gisborne Chardonnay to his range. Years on and his wines never fail to impress - they don’t call him Rod the God for nothing.
