Organic Marlborough Pinot Noir
Wines that are pure and free from harm
Our Wines
Living in Harmony with the Land
Dense clay soils and constant wind help to reduce canopy vigor, keeping the yields low and quality high.
Our Winemaking Style
Our fruit is handpicked, allowed to ferment in stainless steel vessels with naturally occurring yeasts, then carefully racked into French oak barrels where malolactic fermentation takes place. After 10-12 months in barrel, the wine is bottled in lighter weight bottles to help lessen our impact on the environment.
What people are saying
FAQs
Is your vineyard fully organic?
Yes! We planted the vineyard conventionally, and began the process of organic conversion in January 2020. Starting with the 2023 vintage, Spurlock Vineyards Pinot Noir achieved full organic certification from BioGro, both in the vineyard and winemaking.
What's your winemaking philosophy?
We have a low-intervention winemaking philosophy. This, combined with plenty of time in quality French oak barrels and no fining or filtering, results in a Pinot Noir that embodies kaitiakitanga and our love for this ”little tucked away corner of the world.”
What are your cellaring recommendations for your Pinot Noir?
Our Pinot Noir is ready to drink upon release, which is typically after it has aged for 10-12 months in oak barrels. During the first year after release, we recommend decanting the wine to allow it to open up and soften a bit. Under proper conditions, we believe our wine will evolve gracefully in bottle for 6-10 years.
