🏆🍷A proud moment in London.

Our w**emaker Paul Mason proudly receives the International Pinot Noir Trophy for the 2024 Nga Waka Lease Block Pinot Noir from the legendary Oz Clarke OBE at the historic Guildhall.

From a tiny 0.8-hectare vineyard in Martinborough to the world stage — four trophies, Gold and 96 points at the 2026 International W**e Challenge. 🍷

A remarkable w**e, a remarkable vintage, and a very proud moment for Nga Waka.

🍷 Celebrate International Pinot Noir Day! 🍷

This 18 August, we’re raising a glass to one of the world’s most captivating varieties — Pinot Noir — and to our very own 2024 Nga Waka Pinot Noir, recently awarded an outstanding 94 points by Cam Douglas.

Described as complex, ripe and pure-fruited, this elegant Martinborough Pinot Noir reveals layers of dark raspberry, black cherry, plum, clove, vanilla, violet and wild flowers.

Taut and dry, with vibrant acidity, tension and power, it finishes long and beautifully poised — with plenty of promise for the years ahead.

We’re incredibly proud of this vintage and the way it captures the unique character of Martinborough, Wairarapa — a place we’re proud to call home.
