Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The 2009 Mohua Pinot Noir has aromas of violets, dried fruits and cherry. The palate has sweet cherry, plum and raspberries with full mouth feel, fine tannin structure and a long warm finish.

Professional Ratings

  • 89
    Ripe, juicy raspberry and cherry flavors are fresh and refreshing, with a great tangy acidity. Fresh herb and minerally sea salt details come in on the finish. Drink now through 2019.

Mohua The Family Winery Image

Generations in the making, Mohua Wines was founded in 2009 to create delicious wines from some of New Zealand’s highest quality regions. Driven by one family’s passion for great winemaking, the focus is on merging that vision with sustainable practices to craft wines that capture the essence of their environment, while improving the land that creates them. The wines for the Mohua range are carefully selected from two of New Zealand’s most famous grape-growing regions, Marlborough and Central Otago, both located on the South Island. Named in honor of the beautiful Mohua, one of New Zealand’s rarest birds found only in some of the most remote parts of the South Island's pristine rainforests, Mohua Wines is proud to play an active role in their conservation. 

The Mohua is one of New Zealand’s rarest birds, being found now only in some of the most remote parts of the South Island - Mohua Wines is proud to be involved the conservation efforts of this stunning chorister.

Mohua offers wines from two of New Zealand’s best known wine regions - Mohua Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough and Mohua Pinot Noir from Central Otago.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

Home to the globe’s most southerly vineyards, which are cultivated below the 45th parallel, Central Otago is a true one-of-a-kind wine growing region, but not only because of its extreme location.

Central Otago is more dependent on one single variety than any other region in New Zealand—and it isn’t Sauvignon blanc. They don’t even make Sauvignon blanc there.

Pinot Noir claims nearly 75% of the region’s vineyards with Pinot Gris coming in a far second place and Riesling behind it. This is also New Zealand’s only wine region with a continental climate, giving it more diurnal and seasonal temperature shifts than any other.

The subregion of Bannockburn has enjoyed the most success historically but the area’s exceptional growth has moved to the promising regions of Cromwell/Bendigo and Alexandra districts. Central Otago is known for its fruity and full-bodied Pinot noir. With the freedom to experiment here, growers and winemakers are easily exhibiting the area’s great potential.
