Tapi Pinot Noir Marlborough

The fruit for Tapi Pinot Noir comes from Marlborough, on New Zealand’s South Island—a region known for its cool climate and long growing season. The vineyards are planted on clay-rich soils, which help retain water and contribute to the wine’s depth, texture, and subtle earthy character.

The vines, around 15 years old, benefit from warm sunny days and cool nights, allowing for slow, even ripening. This temperature shift preserves natural acidity while building aromatic complexity and bright fruit expression.

Farmed organically and harvested by hand, the vineyard focuses on low-intervention, sustainable practices. The result is a Pinot Noir that reflects its site—pure, balanced, and driven by both freshness and a quiet, underlying structure shaped by the clay soils and coastal climate.

This Pinot Noir is bright and expressive, with notes of ripe cherry, wild raspberry, and a touch of cranberry. Subtle hints of dried herbs and soft spice add complexity, while silky tannins and fresh acidity keep it light, elegant, and easy to drink. A smooth, juicy finish rounds it out.
