Analytical data
Vineyard
Rimapere pinot noir comes from a single vineyard ideally situated on the prestigious Rapaura Road, in the Wairau Valley, in the heart of the Marlborough region. This area’s cool climate and stony soil are perfect for ripening high-quality pinot noir. The name Rimapere meaning « five arrows » in the Maori language, pays a dual tribute to the Rothschild family’s emblem and the traditional local culture.
