Any surfer knows the cleanest waves are found at the crack of dawn before the warming sun stirs up onshore winds. Likewise, we patrol our vineyards in the first glint of sunrise to find the perfect whole bunches to make beautiful Pinot Noir. Picked in the cool early morning, the fruit aromas are still pristine and rolling acidity provides the epic flavour ride we so desire. Taste the sunrise in our Dawn Patrol as flavours of dark Morello Cherries flow into Sarsaparilla root and Cinnamon before

2023 was a cool vintage that produced exceptional wines across all varieties. Despite the delayed harvest caused by the cooler growing season, we were fortunate to have a mild summer with just a few hot days that allowed our fruit to mature gradually. Consequently, our wines boast complex and elegant flavours, fine tannins, and beautiful natural acidity.

This is Big Sky's flagship wine, from their low vigour, low cropping vineyard. It's made to show off the delicious Te Muna fruit characters - ripe berryfruit, dark cherries and plums – set against mouthfilling savoriness, warm spice, and silky tannins. Lithe and elegant.
