Te Kairanga Estate Martinborough Pinot Gris 2018
Description
Pale white-gold in colour, our 2018 Pinot Gris delivers a fragrant bouquet of white flowers, ripe stone fruit, pear, quince and biscuit. The palate has a vigour and vibrancy combined with weight and texture.
Martinborough is at the southern end of New Zealand’s North Island. Roughly 90 minutes from Wellington, New Zealand’s capital, this tiny region accounts for less than 2% of the country’s total wine production.
"Te Kairanga" - a place meaning 'land of plenty and bounty, where the soil is rich & the food is plentiful'. At Te Kairanga, we have 250 acres of vines planted at four vineyard sites in the Martinborough appellation. This diversity provides our winemaking team with a wide array of aromatics, flavours, textures and styles to work with. The Martinborough Terrace, considered one of the premier growing areas, is home to our Home and McLeod Vineyards. Once an ancient riverbed, it features deep gravel and alluvial soils and a mild climate. At slightly higher elevations with more extreme conditions are our Spring Rock and Rua vineyards. All of our properties are sustainably farmed.
Under the direction of Chief Winemaker, John Kavanagh, our winemaking philosophy places a premium on the character of the site. The grapes are harvested block by block and vinified individually with punch-downs and gentle pressing to ensure full extraction without sacrificing elegance. Balanced oak treatment and minimal fining and filtration help preserve both varietal character and the inimitable personality of the terroir.
