The Donaldson family began winemaking 40 years ago. They farm in North Canterbury is a sustainable fashion on North facing terraces. James Suckling said "Lots of ripe strawberries with some citrus and cream. Some meat, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with round, ripe tannins and a delicious, juicy finish" and awarded the 2019 vintage 96/100 points. Aged for 18 months in 40% new French oak ,they follow Burgundian winemaking methodology and succeed in making an elegant ,balanced Pinot that has that all important umami character and structural freshness lacking in so many New World Pinots.
