Corofin is one of Marlborough’s (and New Zealand’s) most exciting wine projects. The people behind it are Mike and Anna Paterson, and the idea is to tell the new Marlborough story: interesting, organically farmed terroirs inspired by Burgundy and concentrating solely on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. With each passing vintage, Mike and Anna Paterson further cement their fledgling domaine among New Zealand’s most exciting up-and-comers. Having spent the majority of their working years in and about Marlborough, Mike and Anna don't doubt the potential of their adopted region and were well placed to approach their first choice of vineyards. Indeed, Paterson’s selection of sites reflects both a winemaker’s enthusiasm for Marlborough’s Southern Valley hillside vineyards plus the dedication of certain grape growers whose vineyards he believes ‘act as a beacon of Marlborough individuality’. In a region where (traditionally) money talks and terroir walks, Mike and Anna Paterson’s Corofin project is carving out a terrific reputation by fashioning exceptional wines of place from the finest hillside vineyards of Marlborough’s Southern Valleys. Established in 2011. Corofin is a tiny operation, working with a small roster of low-yielding vineyards, drawing on just three or four tonnes per site. The largest parcel they work with is a quarter of a hectare and yields only 150 cases a year.

"The supple, savoury and aromatically intriguing 2020 Pinot Noir Wrekin Vineyard may not be as broody as the inaugural 2019, but it captures a sense of underlying fruit power. You can expect layers of flavours, from rosemary to Worcestershire sauce to pickled plum. The fruit is pure with no oak flavours in evidence (30% second-fill, the rest older). Well-judged, restrained extraction (relatively short at around 16 days) has resulted in the finest of grips."
