"Wonderfully ripe and fragrant with Nashi pear, apricot, mandarin and white floral aromas, it's juicy and fleshy in the mouth offering excellent fruit intensity combined with silky texture and refreshing acidity. Beautifully composed and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2022

"The wine was fermented using a selection of different yeasts in order to build complexity. Fermentation temperature was varied: warmer temperatures to add texture and cooler to retain fruit flavour and purity. Soft, accessible wine with honeysuckle, pear, brioche and ripe apple flavours that give a strong sense of varietal identity. Fragrant and appealing wine that is nicely balanced and has a lingering finish" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Apr 2023

"Aromas and flavours of fresh white peach, red apple and pears. On the palate a just dry wine with a fine texture and crisp mouthfeel. Some white spice and lemon then flavours that mirror the bouquet. Fresh, fruity, varietal, balanced and well made. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2025" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Feb 2023

This Marlborough, vegan-friendly Pinot Gris offers delicate aromas of pear and quince flowing into delicious honey and citrus on the palate. This elegant wine offers a long, textured finish.

Our Marlborough vineyards saw a smooth start to the growing season. Winter and spring both exceeded the long-term rainfall average, while settled weather throughout the all-important flowering period aided fruit set. Summer temperatures were ahead of the long-term average, with cooler February and March temperatures supporting a long slow ripening period - perfect for early flavour development and retaining acid levels. Cooler early autumn temperatures allowed the team to pick fruit ahead of the usual vintage timeline.

Yeasts were specially selected to showcase the classic Pinot Gris aromatics and build the mealy complexity that’s typical of Pinot Gris. Fermentation is stopped when natural sweetness balances the classic Marlborough acidity. A mixture of ferment temperatures are used; warmer ferments add texture while cooler ferments help to retain bright fruit and purity. Following a short time on lees the wine is racked to blend, fined and stabilised before filtration to prepare for bottling. This wine is certified vegan friendly.

Food Pairing: A delicious apéritif which can be enjoyed on its own or match with a fresh pesto pasta dish.
