Te Kairanga were one of Martinborough’s founding wineries, a regional pioneer which sparked international interest for local Pinot Noir. There are six Te Kairanga vineyards, each with its own distinctive characteristics, suited to different varietal grapes, clones and viticultural management. The focus is always on maintaining a sustainable environment, employing holistic techniques to return the largesse of farming to the land, fauna and flora. Nine different clones Pinot Noir are all hand picked and separately handled, cold soaked and inoculated for a temperature controlled vinification. Upon completion, components are treated to ten months maturation in a selection of seasoned and new French oak barrels.
