Martinborough Vineyard
Marie Zelie Reserve Pinot Noir 2020 750ml

Martinborough Vineyard is proud to present this seventh release of Marie Zelie, a hallmark Pinot Noir epitomising the winery’s pioneering style and impeccable reputation. This finest reflection of Martinborough Vineyard Pinot Noir is extremely limited, with only 1,487 coveted bottles of the 2020 vintage made.

Parcels from three of the oldest parts of the Home Block vineyard were carefully cultivated by Viticulturist Dave Shepherd, hand-picked and pressed. Aged for 13 months in selected French Oak Barriques, the wine was bottled in July 2021 and has spent four years resting in Martinborough Vineyard’s cellar awaiting it’s anticipated release.

The result is an elegant, sophisticated and seamless wine displaying the finest hallmarks of a great Martinborough Pinot Noir; brooding intensity, richness and depth of flavour.

Whilst delicious in its youth, this wine will reward cellaring for many years to come.

"Stunning and seductive, poised yet powerful, this is a multi-layered pinot with waves of complex flavours. The bouquet is filled with nuances of dark berries, roasted hazelnut, cured meat, bouquet garni, warm spices, and dried mushrooms. It’s concentrated and plush on the palate, exhibiting a seamless flow and a richly textured mouthfeel. This is supremely refined and classically structured with a sustained, engaging finish. At its best: now to 2037." - Sam Kim, 2026
