Dublin Street Reserve Pinot Noir 2020
Champion Pinot Noir at the 2023 New Zealand International Wine Show - a big win for a small producer on Dublin Street in Martinborough, which is the new brand for the vineyard formerly known as Brodie Estate.
This is a deep ruby hued Pinot Noir with complex layers of flavour of red fruit, hazelnuts, spice and a hint of cedar. Youthful and layered, it will age well, if you have the willpower.
This is an outstanding wine and represents great value for money.
Dublin Street has a new lease of life...
Eva and Ross Mackay own Dublin Street Wines in Martinborough village and have breathed new life into this old vineyard.
Eva and Ross were living in Australia prior to moving to Martinborough in 2019, making their first Pinot Noir in 2019 with a following wine in 2020. These two warm, dry, high quality vintages have been a positive start to their experience in Martinborough and it has been a steep learning curve for the couple, who are both former lawyers.
What the critics say...
"Medium dark red with purple tint. Subtle red fruits, hazelnut, spice and oak notes on the nose. The palate is lovely, full and sweet fruited. Gentle yet pleasingly rich and elegant."
