Description
- Dry style
- Ripe pear
- Ginger spice
- Vibrant florals
"Juicy apple and pear weave in and out of the tropical fruit flavours with tingles of ginger and strudel spices adding liveliness and freshness to the beautifully rounded, very moreish and just off-dry finish" New Zealand International Wine Show 2019
"Bright pear and ripe stonefruit give this attractive youthful aromatic pinot gris a lift. A crisp textural palate that treads lightly yet still manages to be mouthfilling. A well handled wine; juicy, fresh and relaxed with a sort of spicy purity. A delicious example that only asks to be enjoyed" Cuisine Magazine 2020
This Pinot Gris displays lovely delicate characteristics of ripe pears, red apple and hints of ginger spice uniquely derived from the growing conditions of the Waipara wine region. A mouth filling and textural wine with an excellent richness. Best enjoyed young. The warm, dry climate, high sunshine hours and long growing seasons in the region of Waipara are perfectly suited to produce Pinot Gris with ripe flavours whilst retaining good natural acidity. A favourite among consumers, Thornbury Pinot Gris has excellent richness, exhibiting vibrant florals of lychee and pears.
Fruit for this wine was sourced from the Waiata Vineyard located in the Waipara winegrowing region. Grown on the famous Glasnevin soils unique to this region.
The grapes were harvested over a couple of days in early April at optimum ripeness then lightly pressed to tank. Cultured yeast strains and cool fermentation techniques in the tank have helped preserve these wines natural fruit flavours. Some residual sugar was left to balance the final blend. Post fermentation, the wine was left on yeast lees with occasional lees stirring to help build the desired texture and richness on the palate. Gentle fining and careful filtration followed before bottling.
Food Pairing: Seafood, white meats or Goat Cheese.

I emailed you about your price on this wine a few days ago - New World supermarket is selling this wine at a dollar a bottle less than you, and of course one doesn't have to pay cartage!
