Trail Rider Pinot Noir is back!!

Trail Rider Pinot Noir is back for 2018. Its been 5 years between vintages but it's been worth the wait. 5 scores of 90+ points so far and for $27 a bottle we are very proud of the value for money drinking.

'Fabulously fruited and elegantly fragrant, the palate delivers lovely weight and roundness, wonderfully complemented by silky texture and polished tannins. Beautifully flowing and refined' 94points and 5 Stars, Wine Orbit

Trail Rider wines are hand made from fruit grown on our micro vineyard that overlooks the Central Otago Rail Trail. These are serious wines made with no corners cut, designed to be enjoyed and shared now, although these wines will develop with time. This is an enticingly elegant Pinot Noir with conc...

We hand picked our Pinot Noir yesterday, after what seemed like a lifetimes worth of frosts in April! The fruit has arrived safely at the winery in really good shape. Our healthy canopy meant we weren't in any rush to pick the fruit early so it hung out there a little longer than most enjoying the Autumn sunshine.

We're beyond excited to announce that our 2017 Pinot Noir has been judged #1 in New Zealand, beating 150 other entrants!

We couldn’t have done it without our amazing winemaker Matt Connell, our viticulture team at GrapeVision… and of course all of you supporting us!

The last thing we did before the nets went on was a family shot in the vineyard. Finley wants to drive the tractor for harvest in a couple of weeks but he may have a year or two to wait

Quite chuffed to get such a neat feature of our Pinot Gris in Canvas Magazine over the weekend.

''Bright and glossy in the glass and scented with subtle pear and apple characters, this is a pearler of a Pinot Gris. Made by the legendary Matt Connell, it's chock-full of fresh and frisky fruit, crisp acidity, and tautness and texture. So frolicsome and flavoursome it'll bring you back to life if you're feeling a tad listless and have you challenging the kids to handstand contests in no time"

Hard to disagree with Yvonne there!

Nice surprise while overseas to pick up Gourmet Traveller and find our 2014 Pinot getting 93 points!

"...typical Alexandra purity and energy but more accessible than most. Supple wine with red cherry, raspberry and a hint fresh herb flavours. Elegant and appealing"

Hard to disagree with and still available on our website at $35 a bottle on case buys https://bit.ly/2LuCqv1
