"Splendidly ripe and elegantly fragrant, the bouquet shows Nashi pear, green rockmelon, Gala apple and white floral aromas. The palate is equally appealing with juicy fruit intensity together with supple texture and fine acidity, making it refreshing and lingering. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2024

"Fresh, ripe and exuberant bouquet with aromas of fresh white nectarine and pear, some apple and fine lees complexities. Fleshy textures touch the palate first contrasted by acidity then white spices and apple flavours. Plenty of acidity for freshness and style with best drinking from 2024 through 2027" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Sep 2024

Vibrant aromas of ripe pear, lychee and citrus are supported by nuanced white floral and spice notes. The palate is fresh and concentrated flavours of ripe pear with a citrus edge, drive this lively and energetic dry Pinot Gris. This wine is finely balanced between appealing fruit sweetness, moreish acidity and a textured palate that lingers through a long finish.

The fruit for our Pinot Gris is primarily harvested from our lower Wairau Vineyards giving us a variety of character. Cool nights during ripening and typically warm, dry summers, maintain concentrated flavours in our grapes.

The grapes were selectively harvested at full ripeness and taken directly into the winery before being gently pressed to tank followed by settling and racking. Post fermentation the wine was kept on lees for 3 months to build weight and texture before blended and prepped for bottled.

Food Pairing: Try alongside dishes with any roast meat and grilled vegetable or any dessert that incorporates fresh red berries and pastry.
