Pinot Noir Trio Mix – Three Expressions of Awatere Valley Pinot Noir

A curated collection of Foxes Island’s most celebrated Pinot Noirs

Experience the depth, elegance, and artistry of Foxes Island Pinot Noir with this Pinot Noir Trio Mix, a three-wine exploration of the Awatere Valley estate. Crafted by Winemaker John Belsham, whose 40+ years of experience began in Bordeaux, these wines highlight the refinement, purity, and age-worthy structure that define Foxes Island Pinot Noir.

Grown on a series of elevated glacial-formed river terraces overlooking the Awatere River, the estate’s Pinot Noir vines thrive in ancient, mineral-rich soils and cool, dry valley conditions. Every wine is crafted through indigenous fermentation, minimal intervention, and gentle handling—allowing the vineyard to speak with clarity and sophistication.

This trio offers a remarkable opportunity to taste three distinct Pinot Noirs from exceptional vintages, each cellar-aged before release and made in the classic Foxes Island style: elegant, textural, finely structured, and beautifully balanced.

What’s Inside

2012 Le Renard (Icon Pinot Noir)
A flagship, single-clone Pinot Noir from Dijon Clone 115. Dark fruit, red florals, savoury spice, and refined tannins. Powerful yet elegant, with decades of ageing potential.

2014 Artist Series Pinot Noir
Complex and age-worthy, offering fresh and mature cherry, preserved plum, rose petal, earth, and subtle spice. Harmonious, layered, and beautifully weighted on the palate.

2016 Estate Pinot Noir
Crafted from three Dijon clones grown across seven sculpted river terraces. Wild cherry, sweet spice, savoury herbs, silky tannins, and a long, graceful finish. A definitive expression of the estate.

All Pinot Noirs are unfined, naturally vegan friendly, and sustainably produced with minimal intervention.

A perfect gift for Pinot Noir lovers, collectors, or anyone seeking to explore the elegance and diversity of Foxes Island’s celebrated Pinot portfolio.
