Boatshed Bay Marlborough Pinot Gris 2025

Description

Dry, Lychee, Pear

"It's finely scented on the nose, with aromas of Nashi pear, rockmelon, lemon peel, and white flowers. It's succulent and beautifully rounded in the mouth, delivering silky flow backed by juicy acidity, finishing long and refreshing. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2025

Enticing aromas of ripe pear, lychee, and citrus are layered with delicate white flowers and a whisper of spice. The palate is bright and expressive, featuring succulent pear and a citrus lift, all beautifully balanced by fresh acidity, subtle sweetness, and a long, textured finish.

Our Pinot Gris is crafted from premium fruit grown in the Awatere and Wairau Valleys of Marlborough, New Zealand. Combining fruit from each of these regions adds an extra dimension to the wine; the Wairau Valley fruit lifting the aromatics, whilst the Awatere component adds an attractive mineral note.

The Marlborough growing region is New Zealand’s premier wine producing area. It is known for its diverse terrain of rugged mountain ranges and vast stretches of flat valleys outlined by jagged hills. The area is marked by plentiful bodies of water from streams and rivers to the famed Marlborough Sounds and captivating views of the South Pacific Ocean. One of New Zealand’s sunniest and driest regions, Marlborough enjoys about 2,400 annual sunshine hours. With an average daytime temperature of 18°C and cool nights brought on by coastal winds, it offers idyllic conditions for growing Pinot Gris.

We believe in letting the quality of our fruit show through in the wine. Our Pinot Gris is picked at the peak of the season and gently pressed before being fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. The result is a wine that is the purest expression of our Marlborough terroir.
