Te Kairanga is one of the earliest producers of wine in Martinborough. Established in 1984 on land originally owned by the founding father of Martinborough, John Martin.  The modern enterprise consists of 250 acres of sustainably-farmed vineyards planted on ancient riverbeds

Under the direction of Chief Winemaker, John Kavanagh, our winemaking philosophy places a premium on the character of each vineyard. The grapes are harvested block by block, destemmed and vinified individually with punch-downs and gentle pressing to ensure full extraction without sacrificing elegance. Balanced oak treatment and minimal fining and filtration help preserve both varietal character and the inimitable personality of the terroir.

Te Kairanga Estate Pinot Noir 2020. Deep, dark intense Burgundy in colour, this Pinot Noir leads with seductive dark berry fruit. A fine savoury spice undertone on the nose leads to a ripe, intense, and pleasing palate with dark rich fruit flowing to a full savoury finish. Fine smooth tannins add a soft structure and texture to finish. The perfect match for game meat such as pan seared Venison with chimichurri and root vegetables.
