    Product description

    The Catherine’s Block label is reserved for the very best wines from Mount Brown Vineyards in Waipara, North Canterbury.  As well as superb fruit, the wine gains texture from being barrel fermented, with wild yeasts, adding a smoky depth and complexity to the wine.

    A rich Pinot Noir, with ripe flavours of plum and cherries, interlaced with hints of black pepper spice and complex forest floor aromas. The palate is round and generous with melted tannins. The grapes are taken from specific rows in the vineyard which are subject to more intense viticultural treatment and lower yields; even then only a few barrels made from those rows make it into the range.

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Mount Brown Estates

    Lying in the foothills of Mount Brown in the Waipara Valley, this abandoned wine estate was only rediscovered in 2002 and has since quickly become something of a success story. Waipara has a greater variation in temperature between night and day than more northerly Marlborough, which in turn boosts flavour and aroma, yet retains the acidity and freshness in the wine. Together with much lower yields, it’s no surprise the valley is fast establishing a reputation for quality. Aromatic varieties such as Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir are perfectly suited to Mount Brown’s small, sheltered stony site, and winemaking here is of a very high order.
