					<description><![CDATA[The vineyards from which Kono sources its grapes are spread predominantly throughout the sub-regions of Marlborough.
Each have their own unique micro climate and soil type, each with its own distinct flavour profile.
The difference is the key to blending a truly authentic expression of the region’s terroir.
The gift of knowledge and rich, unspoiled lands have created award winning wines over flowing with personality and purity.

Pinot Noir is a grape that elicits passionate devotion from wine lovers and is one of the most highly prized wines in the world. The grapes for this wine were sourced from our premium Kono vineyards located in both the Marlborough and Nelson regions of the South Island of New Zealand. Kono Pinot Noir is made to consume as a youthful wine - from two to five years from vintage.
