Fairhall Downs selected for the US Masters, Augusta

As Tiger Woods makes his golfing comeback he may well be enjoying a glass of Fairhall Downs Marlborough Pinot Noir 2006. Selected by The Masters Tournament top corporate sponsor, AT&T, the wine is being poured at all of the events in the corporate arena as well as at the more private offsite evening events.

The only New Zealand wine among a raft of US offerings, co-owner Stuart Smith is delighted. He says, “This is one of the world’s leading sports events and to have a New Zealand wine, let alone Fairhall Downs as one of the few chosen by the leading sponsor is very exciting.”
The 2006 Fairhall Downs Pinot Noir was also chosen for the tutored tasting at the October Marlborough Wine Weekend. It showed very well against other New Zealand Pinot Noirs and those selected from Burgundy. The wine also caught the attention of the buyer for US chain Whole Foods at Pinot Noir 2010.

As the current vintage is being carefully hand-picked under perfect conditions, Stuart and the team at this small family producer are looking forward to another great year for Marlborough Pinot Noir.
