"The sustainable winemakers produce cool climate varietal grapes from 136 acres of vineyards located in the Omaka Valley. These grapes are used to make medal winning wines at the on-site Omaka Springs Estates Ltd winery, where the aim - and, indeed, the philosophy - is to make only high quality wines at affordable prices. Omaka Springs Estates is a family business owned solely by Geoff and Robina Jensen. In 1990, seeking a location similar to Northern Portugal, Provence or Tuscany, the Jensens established their first olive grove near Nelson. In 1992, Geoff and Robina moved the olive grove to a site alongside a newly purchased 40 acre vineyard in the picturesque Omaka Valley, right in the heart of the world-famous Marlborough grape growing area.  Our 2009 Pinot Noir is hand selected from Falveys Road Vineyard.  Aged for 10 months in 33% new oak barriques, this vintage is a superb example of Marlborough Pinot Noir." - Winery Notes

Omaka Springs "Falveys" Pinot Noir 2009 Tasting Notes

"The 2009 Falveys Pinot Noir has lovely, sweet cherry and blackberry flavors with a hint of vanilla and spice. On the palate, it has mouth-filling body and the fine grain tannins give a subtle, long finish." - Winemaker Notes
