"Delightfully fruited and elegantly expressed, showing Gala apple, ripe pear, mango, and floral aromas on the nose. The palate offers rounded mouthfeel and supple texture, well supported by bright acidity, finishing lingering and refreshing. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2025
Gorgeous aromatics of freshly picked pear with subtle spice notes. Elegant and fresh with notes of juicy golden peark, baked pastry and soft spices with a flavoursome dry finish.
The fruit was se lected from vineyards in Marlborough's Wairau Valley and Southern Valley subregions. Each vineyard's yield was carefully managed and fruit monitored throughout the entire 2024 growing season by Heather and the team.
During a cool evening, the vineyard was machine har vest ed and the gr apes swiftly brought to the winery where they were dest emmed and pressed. The free run juice was cold settled prior to fermentation in small stainless steel tanks. A small portion went through malolactic conversion to add softness and texture. After a warm control led fermentation, the wine was left on lees with gentle stirring, enhancing the varietal characteristics, prior to delicate blending. Minimal fining and handling before filtration and bottling ensures this Pinot Gris shows a true expression of the grape variety.
