Wairarapa Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris from New Zealand's North Island.

Murdoch James produces wines from Wairarapa, New Zealand's North Island region, where cool-climate conditions favour elegant Pinot Noir and crisp white varieties. The winery's portfolio centres on Pinot Noir—the Waiata and High Block bottlings both demonstrate the region's capacity for structured, nuanced expression of the variety. A Pinot Gris, Blue Rock, rounds out the range with the brightness characteristic of the grape in cooler terroirs. Wines from Murdoch James have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, and Decanter.
