"This is immediately approachable on the nose with green rockmelon, pear, subtle spice and white floral nuances, followed by a finely flowing palate that's ripe and succulent. Well rounded with youthful fruit flavours. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orit, Apr 2024

This second blend 2023 Tuatara Bay Pinot Gris displays an elegant nose of baked apple and pear crumble with hints of violet. The palate is bright and expressive showing flavours of fuji pear and cinnamon spice. Mouthfilling and textural with lively acids and a refreshing, lengthy off dry finish.

The fruit for this Pinot Gris comes from a selection of vineyards in the Wairau and Southern valleys. All vineyards where the fruit was sourced exhibit moderate fertility, and the grapes were carefully monitored during maturity to ensure they were harvested at the peak of flavour development and ripeness.

At the winery, each parcel was pressed off skins and fermented in cool stainless-steel tanks, retaining the fresh characters in the fruit. After fermentation, the wine sat on lees for seven months, providing complexity and poise to the wine.

Food Pairing: Enjoy on its own or great with Japanese cuisine such as sashimi or chicken yakitori.
