The Home Block Pinot Noir is a very small production. Made from Dijon clone 667, the vines are cropped low and hand harvested. The grapes are destemmed and put into open top 4 tonne French oak cuves. They are then cold macerated for about 3 weeks to allow gentle colour and tannin extraction and then slowly warmed to temperature to allow indigenous yeast fermentation.
The wine is racked into a mixture of new, 1 and 2 year old French oak where it matures for about 12 months. Finally this wine is fined, but not filtered, then bottled. The result is a supple, elegant wine with fine grained tannins and a powerful palate. Finesse and silkiness is our motto with this Pinot Noir.

Wairau River (pronounced why-ra-ow) produces wines exclusively sourced from our family estate vineyards first established in 1978 by Phil & Chris Rose. Hand tended in small batches from vine to bottle, low crops and ultra ripe fruit are utilised to produce premium wine that has become renowned for exhibiting intense fruit characteristics and classical elegance. With five estate vineyards of around 500 acres, Wairau River Wines can maintain total commitment to quality by carefully managing these sites to keep yields low and quality high.
The extended Rose family are all heavily involved in the business – so we are a true family owned and managed winery.
