Luna Estate Blue Rock Pinot Noir 2016 New Zealand Martinborough
Luna Estate Blue Rock Pinot Noir 2016 New Zealand MartinboroughGARY WALSH – WINE FRONT AUSTRALIA ON OCT 19, 2017
Tasted about twenty something Martinborough Pinot Noir, in-situ, last week which was a pleasant enough task. This wine was first in the lineup and impressed me straight away. Vineyard planted in 1986 on its own roots, and I believe, perhaps unusually for Martinborough, has a high percentage of clay in the vineyard.

Muddy Water Slowhand Pinot Noir 2012 New Zealand Waipara
Muddy Water Slowhand Pinot Noir 2012 New Zealand WaiparaSlowhand is an iron fist in a velvet glove; it delivers great power yet is seamless and smooth. The late-ripening fruit is full of heady plum and blueberry characters, and the textural and length elements are exemplary – the feel of velvet and persistence is unrivalled. Slowhand is our rarest Pinot Noir; it’s not made every year and is made in small batches only.
