Situated in the idyllic countryside north of Martinborough, Gladstone Vineyard was the first of a cluster of boutique wineries to establish themselves in the old, mineral rich, river bed that was the Ruamahanga River. 

This Pinot Noir pours red, with apurple hue. The nose has fragrant characters of Bright blackberry and plum with floral undertones. Beautifully balanced by savoury oak notes, with tobacco and cracked pepper. The palate is refined and tight, with real texture. Fruits form early but the wine is carried by a lovely savoury tone and whole bunch structure and tannins. The wine has the classic gladstone salinity running through it.
