Its Origins
"Owners Peter James (PJ) Charteris and partner Christina Pattison met at Brokenwood in the Hunter Valley in 1999. PJ was the chief executive winemaker at Brokenwood, and Christina was the marketing manager. Together they have over four decades of winemaking and wine marketing experience. In 2008 they launched their boutique brand For NZ-born PJ, finding a top Pinot Noir site in Central Otago New Zealand was a spiritual homecoming. They also have a vineyard with the gold-plated address of Felton Road, Bannockburn, planted to clones 115 777 and Abel. Currently the mouse (small production) that roared but who knows what the future holds!" James Halliday
What The Critics Say
Winemaker notes on current 2018 vintage
"A lot like the 2018 summer this wine is straight out of the blocks, abundant and lifted with ripe stone fruit and layers of complexity. My first thoughts go to
the Golden Weather of childhood summer. Juicy ripe peaches and nectarines straight from the tree and the faint hint of orchard dust on a warm afternoon
while throwing said fruit at my brother instead of putting it in the picking bucket. Heady,Buried deep behind all of this is a very delicate floral Muscat note
which is from the 809 clone.There is a glide to the entry, but some real texture through the mid to finish which keeps the wine structured and persistent.
The exit is textured and perhaps even a little staunch at the moment, but that gives presence and power, like Meursault. The acidity is completely woven
into the core of the wine giving a subtle resonance."
