‘Aspire' is the secondary label of Gimblett Gravels pioneer Matariki Wines. The ‘Aspire' range is the more fruit-forward, earlier drinking style. The fruit source may include grapes from sites outside of the Gimblett Gravels district. The Matariki plantings of Pinot Noir are on the silt-influenced soils of the Gimblett Gravels. Proprietor John O'Connor has Leith Ashworth as winemaker with Rod McDonald as consultant. www.matarikiwines.co.nz
