Product Notes

Where the Moko Hills label is about place and identity, Kakano ('texture' in Maori) is the subjective interpretation of the texture that creates Moko Hills. A creative outlet, focusing on the textural experience of the drinker.

Labels were designed with care and direction of Emma Holder. Artwork was created by Nature itself – textural components of Moko Hills photographed through Donald’s eyes, matched specifically to present the interpretation of the wine within.

Winemaking

The fruit came from a single Pinot Noir clone - Abel. 100% whole bunch and fermented with natural yeast. Gentle winemaking techniques were used to avoid excessive extraction. 23 days on skins, pressed to 100% old French oak barrels. 12 months in barrel, and allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation naturally in spring, before being racked and naturally settling and integrating in tank. Unfined and unfiltered.
