Winemaker Notes

Any way you look at it, this Pinot Noir is the pinnacle of what they at Mt. Beautiful are all about. Subtlety is the secret inside this wine. It begins with sophisticated fragrances of brambles and violets while showcasing an elegantly medium weight palate featuring ripe blackberry fruit, earthiness and subtle tannins. As the personal favorite of owner David Teece, it's incredibly important for the Pinot Noir to showcase the best aspects of the varietal, therefore it is grown in the highest elevation in the vineyard.

    Alongside bright cherry notes, there is a compelling core of minerality that sits effortlessly on the palate. Pure, evocative Pinot character that is enticing and rich. Floral and earthy finish.

    The 2014 Mt. Beautiful Pinot Noir delivers quality for the money. The wine offers delicate red fruit flavors of strawberries, a touch of violets, and dried herbs. The wine's elegance makes it a beautiful choice with grilled loin lamb chops. Drinks well now. ((Tasted: October 21, 2016, San Francisco, CA)

Mt. Beautiful, New Zealand
Mt. Beautiful Winery Video

Mt. Beautiful lies in the heart of North Canterbury, on the South Island of New Zealand. The Kaikoura Seaward Mountains lie to the North, while the Waiau River borders us to the North as well. The vineyard rests under its namesake, Mt. Beautiful. Mt. Beautiful crowns the coastal range to the East, and protects the vineyards from the ocean winds. Located about an hour and a half north of Christchurch on Route 1, Mt. Beautiful Winery is on the Northern fringe of the North Canterbury growing region. Lauded by many critics as New Zealand’s most underestimated wine region, it’s a place that has begun to get some incredible recognition.    Mt. Beautiful’s wines are a stunning representation of the splendor of the region. The Sauvignon Blanc reaches through the herbaceous spectrum to carry flavors of tropical fruits, the Riesling is ripe with mandarin and citrus, the Pinot Gris is lush and exhibits a creamy mid palate, the Pinot Noir is soft, juicy, and inviting with a hint of cherry, and the Chardonnay is bursting with aromatics of ripe apple and stone fruits while finishing with a clean and crisp flint like minerality.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

On the central eastern coast of the South Island, Canterbury includes a collection of small and varied subregions. The region is cool and dry with low rainfall and light, infertile soils. Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir are well-suited here, with Pinot Gris coming in third place.
