Te Kairanga

Te Kairanga is one of the oldest and best positioned vineyards in Martinborough, located on free draining land once owned by the founding father of Martinborough, John Martin, in the late 1800s. Te Kairanga was recently purchased by the American billionaire and oenophile Bill Foley; his ambition is to produce the greatest Pinot Noir in the new world. He immediately recruited the legendary John Kavanagh as Head Winemaker. John is simply one of the best Pinot Noir winemakers in the New World.
