The 2019 Stonecutter Reserve Pinot Noir comes from the ripest parcels of the vineyard and receives longer ageing to build complexity, structure and depth. It’s the fuller, darker, more savoury side of Martinborough - black cherry, earthy spice and a dry, persistent finish.

The vineyard, planted in 1995, rested on classic Martinborough gravel soils. With the estate now closed, this Reserve bottling marks the final — and finest — expression of Stonecutter’s Pinot craft.

This wine previously retailed at $45, reflecting its Reserve-tier positioning.

It is now offered at $14.99 per bottle by the case as part of the estate’s final clearing of stock.

Rated 17.5/20 by Joelle Thomson, this is a rare opportunity to experience Reserve-level Martinborough Pinot Noir at an exceptional final price.
