Moko Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir celebrate New Zealand’s culture in both the ancient and modern. Today New Zealand is also identified in the creation of its instantly recognisable style of aromatic Sauvignon Blanc and world class Pinot Noir. Our relationship with established growers in the region allows us to capture wines of distinction that reflect Marlborough’s modern heritage and style.
Production
Our Pinot Noir came from 2 vineyards - 87% Rapaura Gravels and 13% Omaka Valley clay soils which included a number of clones, 667,777,115, Abel and Clone 5. Both vineyards were pruned to 2 cane VSP and yields were naturally around the 7T/Ha mark. After green thinning on the vine the fruit was harvested over a period of 10 days from late March through to early April. Each parcel was kept separate and fermented in small open top tanks and hand plunged up to 4 times daily. Post pressing, wine was sent to a mixture of stainless steel and French oak for Malo and ageing.
