The Third Great New Zealand Pinot Noir Classification was developed by Matthew Jukes and Tyson Stelzer to highlight the importance of New Zealand’s finest Pinot Noirs. The classification is awarded based on a rolling average rating
of the five most recent vintages. Light font is used to position estates for which we have yet to taste five vintages.
