Winery & Vintage Info
In 1993, Terry Peabody and his wife Mary decided they wanted to create a family legacy, one that could be handed down to future generations. They decided they would create a wine estate somewhere in the world with their desire stemming from the family’s love of fine wine. There was one condition – Terry didn’t want to buy into an existing vineyard, rather he wanted to select bare land, an untouched site to ensure a focus on quality from the very beginning.
Their search for a winery began traditionally enough, in France and America then spreading to Australia. An opportunity then brought Terry to the edge of the world – to New Zealand – a land of mountains, fire and ice. Here he saw the potential he hadn’t seen elsewhere – the country’s exceptional climate, a rich history in farming the land and the pioneering spirit of the people.
Sourced from carefully chosen Craggy Range Estate vines rooted in the ancient, rocky soils of Martinborough terrace, this Pinot Noir showcases distinct parcels selected for their true varietal character and regional uniqueness. The result is a lively, fruit-forward wine with a silky, velvety mouthfeel, crafted for immediate appreciation.
