All proceeds will go to the Clubhouse fundraiser.
Wine fundraiser for the Clubhouse – This is the 2017 Pinot Noir from the small Sei Cento block in Martinborough. There are just 600 vines and up to 600 (sei cento in Italian) bottles are sold each year, with the wine being aged before sale, so it’s mature and ready for drinking now.
This entire vintage is being donated towards the Martinborough Golf Club new clubhouse fundraising efforts. $20 from every bottle sold goes to the club. Members Emily & Rex have lovingly tended the vines and winemaker Wendy Potts has crafted the fruit into a delicious drop. Funds raised so far $4,200.
