"Charming and inviting, the bouquet shows Asian pear, apricot, fig and lemon peel notes, leading to a finely textured palate offering pristine fruit flavours with lively acidity, making it succulent and very tasty. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2024
"Ripe, fruity, varietal and complete, a wine with a bouquet and palate showcasing white fleshed stone fruits and some citrus, pear and apple. Layers of white spice are accentuated by acidity and fine lees textures. Balanced and well made with immediate drinkability and freshness. Best from day of purchase through 2026" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Sep 2024
An elegant celebration of freshness and fruit to delight the senses, with alluring aromas of juicy stonefruit and a whisper of honeysuckle. White peach and pear flavours explode on the palate, perfectly balanced with a touch of minerality and a zesty citrus finish.
Our Pinot Gris comes from vineyards planted in the Ohiti, Korokipo and Crownthorpe sub-regions in Hawke’s Bay, where the cooler, higher altitude climate and free draining alluvial soils of the Ngaruroro River are perfect for aromatic Pinot Gris.
Hawke’s Bay experienced an exceptional harvest in 2024, although the yields were lower than normal. The fine weather was a welcome change after some challenging seasons. The hot and dry summer resulted in outstanding quality grapes at harvest, which was at the beginning of March.
Harvested in the early hours of the morning at the beginning of March, the grapes were pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery. Fermentation was carefully overseen by our winemaking team to retain the fruit flavours and enhance the aromatics.
Food Pairing: The elegant flavours of this Pinot Gris pair perfectly with Asian inspired dishes - think salmon sushi, spicy fish curry or tempura vegetables.
