Description
- Dry style
- Pear & apple
- Tropical fruit
- Succulent
"Flavours of fresh green and brown pears, ripe yellow apple and white kichen baking spices. A rounded satin cream texture touches the palate first with flavours of white fruit and spice coating the palate. Just dry with perhaps a whisper of RS, medium+ acidity and a blanaced even finish. Well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through end of summer 2025" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Mar 2023
"It’s elegantly expressed with green pear, fig, Gala apple and white floral aromas, leading to a silky-smooth palate that’s succulent and fleshy. Well rounded and soothing with delectable flavours" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
This is a wonderfully exotic wine with aromas of flowers, pear and melon. The palate has nectarine and tropical fruit richness which is balanced with a smooth refreshing finish.
Fruit for this wine was selected from mature vineyards in the North Island that consistently produce outstanding Pinot Gris grapes. A long warm growing season delivered great clean fruit.
The focus in the winery is to capture the pure fruit flavours that come in from the vineyard. The grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness then gently pressed and the juice fermented at cool temperatures with selected yeasts to enhance aromatic potential. After ferment the wine rested on lees to enhance mouthfeel before blending and preparation for early bottling.
Food Pairing: Great on its own this Pinot Gris is incredibly versatile with a variety of food, our favourites being chilled furry peach and red curry mussels.
