Bishop's Leap Marlborough Pinot Gris 2026

Description

Dry, Pear, Spice

"Beautifully fruited and finely expressed, the wine shows aromas of green rock melon, fig, ripe pear, and lemon peel. The palate delivers bright fruit flavours, a fine texture, and crisp acidity, making it refreshing and easy to enjoy" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Elegant and expressive, this Pinot Gris reveals inviting aromas of ripe pear and subtle warm spice. The palate is silky and beautifully textured, showcasing flavours of golden pear complemented by delicate spice notes and a refreshing line of acidity. Dry in style, the wine is balanced and refined, carrying excellent length through to a clean, persistent finish.

Sourced from carefully selected Marlborough vineyards, the fruit was harvested at optimal ripeness and promptly transported to the winery. Following harvest, the grapes were gently pressed and cool-fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, ensuring purity of fruit, textural elegance, and vibrant varietal expression.

Food Pairing: An ideal companion to creamy pasta dishes or lightly spiced cuisine, where its silky texture and subtle spice characters complement the flavours beautifully.
