"Fruit expressive and inviting with green pear, rockmelon and Gala apple aromas with a hint of floral overtone. The palate displays elegant weight and silky texture, well balanced by bright acidity, finishing refreshing and lingering. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2024
Our second blend of the 2023 Kingfisher Bay Pinot Gris shows a full and ripe palate of green pear, and honeysuckle provides a refreshing, crisp mouthfeel with a hint of cream. A well-balanced structure and acidic undertones ensure the wine finishes clean and fresh.
The fruit for this bright Pinot Gris was sourced from various sites within the Marlborough region. Selected from their expressive flavour profile and quality.
Harvested in mid – March, the fruit was pressed off its skins immediately, helping to achieve the elegant pale lemon complexion. Fermented in cool stainless-steel tanks to retain the fresh fruit characters before being aged on gross lees for several months to add complexity and richness to the palate.
The texture was enhanced by regular lees stirring post fermentation. The individual batches were selected on quality then blended together before balancing and stabilising ready for bottling.

I like a quiet Pinot Gris. Nit too dry. I enjoy it!
