Grove Mill Marlborough Pinot Noir 2023

2 Reviews

Stylistically a nod to Europe but with the polish and consistency that sets New Zealand apart. This pinot has juicy black-cherry and raspberry flavours, excellent tannin structure and a twist of spice on the finish.

Grove Mill

A pioneering and environmentally conscious producer in the Wairau Valley at the head of New Zealand’s South Island. Grove Mill is part of the Foley Family wines portfolio that includes some of the most respected wine estates in the country, and in California, France and Argentina.

The vineyards themselves are on shallow, stony soils that drain fast and the grapes are harvested in the cool of night and from vineyards immediately surrounding the winery. This means there is less transport and better, fresher fruit reaching the presses and vats and bright fruit characters getting into the bottles.

Environmental sustainability

An accredited member of the Sustainable Winegrowing Initiative of New Zealand, Grove Mill take as much care of the environment as they do in making top-quality wines, nurturing wetlands near the bottling plant and warehousing and encouraging diversity of flora and fauna. Indeed, they've planted 2,250 plants since 2020 and seen an increase in the wild bird population nesting in the wetlands, as well as a proliferation of seedlings and improved water filtration. Waste water from the winery is used to irrigate the vineyards and native plantings via a system that is a benchmark for Marlborough, and the winery itself sits among the vineyards to reduce the need for transport. Bottles are mad of lightweight glass to reduce the carbon footprint, labels are made from a highly renewable resource, sugarcane, and winery energy use is heavily dependent on...

Dusky, smoky, dark cherry-licked, big food-friendly pinot from a brilliant value Marlborough estate.
