Whalebone Bay Marlborough Pinot Gris 2026

Description

Off-dry, Pastry, Pear

"Pristine and elegantly expressed, the wine shows rock melon, Gala apple, Nashi pear, and white flower aromas, leading to a fruit-expressive palate that's beautifully rounded and juicy, offering fabulous drinking" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

The nose is elegant and inviting, offering notes of ripe pear accented by a gentle hint of spice. The palate is smooth and generous, revealing flavours of juicy pear complemented by a subtle baked pastry nuance. Expressive and beautifully balanced, this Pinot Gris is an ideal aperitif, offering immediate appeal with its refined texture and fruit-forward charm.

Sourced from carefully selected Marlborough vineyards, the fruit was harvested at optimal ripeness to capture purity and depth of flavour. 

At the winery, the grapes were gently pressed and cold-settled before undergoing cool fermentation in stainless steel, preserving clarity, freshness, and aromatic precision.
