Pinot Noir 2006
The 2006 season was noted for hard spring frosts, a warm summer and dry autumn. The winemaker used traditional methods and careful selection of yeasts to express the character of the hand picked basket pressed fruit. The resulting dark, intensely coloured pinot has a complex nose of violets, chocolate, plum, oak and cherries. It is well structured, has a long finish and is wonderful with venison and lamb. This is a wine to be enjoyed with food.

Pinot Noir 2008
The 2008 vintage experienced mild frost and good flowering. A warm dry autumn with cool nights produced well ripened fruit. The bunches of small berries were handpicked and carefully macerated followed by ageing for 10 months in a selection of Claude Gillet barrels from the Nevers, Allier and Troncais forests.
This is a beautifully integrated wine with silky tannins. Violets and cherries on the nose followed by rich mouth-filling dark fruits with hints of vanilla and chocolate producing a well balanced , rich and lively Pinot Noir.

Pinot Noir 2009
Our Martinborough vineyard, with its range of Dijon clones, sits on heavy silts over gravel. The 2009 vintage experienced mild spring frosts, good flowering, warm autumn days and cool nights resulting in ripe succulent fruit. No irrigation is used on our estate vineyard. This results in bunches of small intensely flavoured berries which were handpicked and carefully macerated followed by aging for ten months in French barriques.
2009 was a good vintage for Martinborough. We were able to chill the grapes after destemming down to around 10 degrees and soak for a couple of days longer than previously. The same methods were used following this with selected yeasts for the ferments, good control of the ferment temperatures and gentle pressing of the must.
Our winemaker, James Walker, has produced a beautifully integrated, well structured, mouth filling wine, rich in dark fruits with hints of chocolate and violets. This is a big style wine with savoury notes typical of Brodie Estate and the wines of the Martinborough region.
Excellent for drinking now or for cellaring for 3 to 8 years

Summer Blush 2009
This wine is made from grapes grown on the Thompson Block adjacent to Brodie Estate in Martinborough and from our wine maker's own block.

The 2009 vintage was notable for its dry autumn and cool nights.

The wine maker has used traditional methods and careful selection of yeasts to express the character of the hand-picked, basket pressed fruit.

This is a delicious summer wine made in the dry Rosé style. The wine is carefully blended to produce a tantalizing strawberry and peach bouquet followed by notes of apples, strawberries and pears with a well structured lime character to finish.

A lovely wine to add zest to summer picnics and alfresco lunches.

The wine has been made using old world methods. Barrel aging on fermentation lees for the second year has produced a wine that is white gold in colour with hints of peach, melon and caramel.
