Magnum 2018 Maori Point Grand Reserve Pinot Noir - Professors' Block (with box)

We are releasing a very limited number of magnums of 2018 Māori Point Grand Reserve - Professors' Block Pinot Noir. This wine is only the third Māori Point Reserve Pinot Noir to be labeled as "Professors' Block." We made only 20 magnum bottles of the 2018 vintage, all sealed with a cork, labeled, dipped in wax to protect the cork, then numbered and signed, all by hand. Each magnum bottle comes with a Māori Point wood box (made in Otago) to protect the wine (unfortunately, we cannot send the wooden box out of NZ, sorry). Our Reserve Pinot Noir is hand harvested from our favorite section of Māori Point Vineyard. We have been observing this special area and tasting the wines made specifically from it since 2013, and we now call this area our "Professors' Block". This one-acre block of vines was planted in 2002 with the Pinot Noir types Abel and 10/5, and it consistently creates our most elegant, layered, and long-lived Pinot Noir.
