Located within the Wairarapa Valley, Martinborough was the first of New Zealand`s wine regions to establish world class credentials for producing Pinot Noir. The region is cooler and drier than any other on North Island and like Marlborough across the Cook Strait, it is exposed to cold winds that funnel in from the southern ocean. Marion`s Vineyard Pinot Noir has an alluring perfumed bouquet of strawberry and cherry with mouth-filling ripe cherry and spicy earth flavours. The subtle use of French oak prolongs a complex and elegant finish.
