The People
On Giants’ Shoulders
Paying homage to place, people and Pinot JOELLE THOMSON Gabrielle and Braden Crosby
GABRIELLE AND Braden C ro s b y a re O n G i a n t s ’ Shoulders. The evocative name describes how they feel about
making wine from a vineyard in Martinborough that has long been regarded as one of the best sites for Pinot Noir
in the region. It also pays homage to the winemaking giants they respect in the Wairarapa, including Clive
Paton and Larry McKenna, among others. The Crosby’s 4-hectare vineyard was formerly called
SAM Orchard Spreaders Spread from the back. Band pile from the front. Absolutely no change-over time!
