Description

  • Dry style
  • Crisp apple & pear
  • Nougat
  • Subtle ginger

Pale green and yellow in the glass. A complex Pinot Gris that highlights the Waipara Valley's distinctive aromatics. Aromas of crisp red apple, quince and hint of nougat. Apple, pear and nougat flow through the palate finishing with a touch of ginger and a crisp acidity. 

Sourced from the Home Block and Deans vineyards in the Waipara Valley with deep, free draining Glasnevin gravels.

Harvested primarily in the morning, the fruit was pressed immediately to preserve flavour. The juice was left to settle until very clean, then racked, warmed and inoculated, with a range of yeasts. Regular stirring for a month, until finally blended using natural methods.

Food Pairing: Lightly chilled as an aperitif, or with spicy dishes such as Szechuan chicken.

Pinot gris comes in various styles. This one is not too sweet and clean on the palate. I loved it. Waipara is one of my favourite wine regions.

Steve - 07/08/2020

bought for my girl its ok but a bit lacking in complexity for me

Ashley - 29/05/2020

Enjoyable Pinot Gris - improved when left to 'breath' for a little while. Think will cellar well for 2-3 years.

Barbara - 27/05/2020

Pleasant and smooth. No really distinguishing characteristics. More sweet than dry. A little over priced for the quality.
