Planted in the early 2000's with a selection of Pinot Noir clones, the exceptional Calvert Vineyard is finely tuned to capture what we call the essence of Central Otago - wild flowers, savoury herbs, black fruits and beautiful silky tannins.
Managed biodynamically by the extremely capable team from Felton Road, our Calvert Vineyard Pinot Noir is elegantly restrained and focused with exotic flavours and a lingering finish.
