A benediction from a season and a place.
 
Concentrated, rich fruit & deep resonant flavours. A dark, savoury, vibrant wine with presence & poise.   We think, a rare & fine wine.

Select barrel.  Special wine. No one who tries it is unmoved. 
 
Michael Cooper, Feb 2026 - Home Fields Reserve Wairarapa Pinot Noir.  Five Stars
Full of aging potential, the classy 2024 vintage (*****) was estate-grown in the northern Wairarapa.  Full-bodied, with deep, bright, youthful colour, it is a sturdy, rich red, very harmonious and supple, with concentrated, ripe cherry, plum and spice flavours, complex and savoury, and gentle tannins.  Skilfully crafted and already delicious, it's likely to be at its best from 2030 onwards.
