"The wine is instantly appealing; the inviting bouquet shows ripe stone fruit, fresh pear, floral and subtle spice aromas, followed by a vibrant palate that is fleshy and smooth. The wine offers pristine fruit flavours together with textural mouthfeel, finishing long and tasty. At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2019
A pale gold colour in the glass. The 2018 Delta Pinot Gris shows aromas of pear, quince paste and warm spices. On the palate, expect pure and elegant flavours or fresh white pear, soft spices and a flavoursome dry finish.
The fruit was sourced from vineyards in Marlborough's Lower Wairau Valley and the Omaka Valley regions. The 2018 vintage started with cool spring weather, which extended the length of flowering, leading to open bunches with reduced potential disease pressure during early autumn rains. Lower crop levels led to increased intensity of flavours within the grapes. Ripening steadily throughout the growing period, this fruit was continually monitored until the right balance of flavour and physiological ripeness was attained.
During a cool evening, the vineyard was machine harvested and the grapes quickly transported to the winery where they were destemmed and pressed. The free run juice was collected from the press and cold settled prior to fermentation in stainless steel. A cool fermentation helped to retain the varietal aromas. Minimal fining and handling before filtration and bottling ensures this Pinot Gris shows a true expression of the natural terroir.
Food Pairing: The 2018 Pinot Gris has an elegant structure, with vibrant fruit notes, soft spices and creamy dry finish. An ideal wine as an aperatif, or paired with lightly spiced Thai cuisine.

A great surprise to get this quality wine at this price point. Enjoyed the burst of flavours from the first mouthful. If you enjoy a drier pinot gris which still retains its aromatic profile, give this a try
