Aprentis of Devotus Pinot Noir

Devoted to Pinot Noir. Inspired by the traditions of the old world, Don and Valerie McConachy are devoted winegrowers of the new world. The story of Devotus is the story of a magical place cared for by truly passionate people. The people, Don and Valerie. The place, a tiny 3 hectare single vineyard site in the heart of the famed Martinborough Terrace, New Zealand. Carved out thousands of years ago by the Ruamahanga River, which after retreating, left behind stony soils regarded as producing the finest vines. Only 1 kilometre wide and 5 km long, the terrace is the holy land for Martinborough Pinot Noir. Lifted black currant on the nose. Bright, rich, with notes of flint and conserves on the palate. Fine tannin. Overall style is one of low intervention, a pure expression of the 2022 vintage, of the Martinborough Terrace, and particularly of the vineyard.
