Tasting Notes

Ripe and delightfully fragrant on the nose with dark plum, raspberry, mixed spice and roasted nut aromas. The palate displays succulent fruit flavours with fleshy texture and beautifully flowing mouthfeel, leading to a fine, polished finish.

A ripe and generous Marlborough Pinot Noir with certified organic credentials, showing the region's natural affinity for this variety in an accessible, food-friendly style.

Why you'll love it: Marlborough Pinot can be underestimated alongside Central Otago, but the Brancott Valley site gives Rebecca's Pinot real character and depth at a price that makes it a confident choice for mid-week dining and weekends alike.

The Vineyard

Handpicked from Odyssey's home vineyard at the top of Marlborough's Brancott Valley. The 25 certified organic acres are planted in Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir, all farmed with minimal intervention to express the natural character of this elevated, free-draining site.

About Odyssey Wines

Odyssey Wines is owned by Rebecca Salmond, who trained at Massey University in New Zealand and Adelaide University's Roseworthy College in Australia, graduating with a degree in Biotechnology and a Post Graduate Diploma in Winemaking Science. She then worked in some of the world's finest wine regions: Burgundy, Bordeaux and Cote Rotie in France; Alto Adige and Sicily in Italy; Marlborough and Hawkes Bay in New Zealand. Rebecca launched Odyssey in 1994 with small amounts of premium wines. Odyssey now owns 68 acres in Marlborough's Brancott Valley with 25 acres under vine, managed organically. All wines are single vineyard.

Perfect with duck confit, grilled salmon with a herb crust, or a mushroom and walnut pasta. The silky tannins and red-fruit character bridge both rich and earthy flavours.
