Proudly family owned, the Borthwick vineyard is an established vineyard situated in Gladstone, the heart of the Wairarapa. Producing quality wine for over a decade, Paddy, an experienced wine maker, has gained a reputation for producing consistently great wines. The twenty seven hectares of vines bordering the Ruamahunga River are growing on stony, free draining, alluvial soils, with a micro climate giving warm daily temperatures, cool nights and low rainfall; perfect conditions for producing distinctive, quality wines

This Pinot highlights purity and freshness, offering bright aromas of red florals, spice, and juicy red fruit. Medium-bodied, the palate shows a vibrant mix of tart and sweet cherry framed by soft, velvety tannins. Subtle oak lends a gentle touch of chocolate to the finish, while a hint of spice adds lift and energy to the lingering aftertaste.

A perfect pairing for grilled quail, roasted chicken or the richness of pork shoulder. This wine can also stand up to glazed salmon or a decadent pizza with sweet potato, balsamic onions and soppressata.

Sweetly ripe and inviting, the bouquet shows dark cherry, plum, olive, and warm spice aromas. The palate displays juicy fruit intensity with supple texture and well-balanced tannins, making it beautifully harmonious with a lingering, tasty finish. At its best: now to 2028.

Lovely bouquet with ripeness of red berry fruits with a savoury earthy frame. Flavours of cherries and red plums, tart cherry and a strawberry compote idea. There’s a natural youthful tautness as the wine touches the palate - stemming from tannins and acidity, a contrast from red berry flavours and natural sweetness from oak and alcohol deliver contrast and style. Dry, moderate tannins and plenty of acidity, fruit flavours reflect the bouquet, a wine best enjoyed alongside food with best drinking from 2026 through 2030.
