Shawn is so passionate about his wine I swear that if he cut himself he’d bleed Pinot Noir. Muirlea is basicay a one man operation with its focus mainly on Pinot Noir (and the mad grape of Martinborough). If you don’t like reds this is...More

Excellent

Our group received generous and numerous tastings of very nice wines. Many people were there for a meals and tastings that you could enjoy outside or on the veranda. Just a lovely setting and really good wines with knowledgeable staff.

Being a small vineyard, the wines aren't fined in any product. They are delicious and at only $5 for a tasting (refunded if you make a purchase) it's really reasonable. The tasting lasts about half an hour, the host and head winemaker is a real...More

Beautiful Pinot

If you want a Pinot Noir tasting with side by side vintages and Après late harvest tastes, this is the place. Shawn is a fun and cheeky host. Great wines and fun atmosphere make this a Martinborough must.
