Dashwood Marlborough Pinot Gris 2025

Description

Dry, Pear, Vanilla

"Pristine and brightly expressed, the bouquet shows Asian pear, rockmelon, fig, and white floral aromas, followed by a silky-smooth palate that's juicy and refreshing with a lengthy, tasty finish. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2025

Vibrant aromas of ripe pear, lychee, and citrus unfold alongside subtle white florals and spice. The palate is lively and concentrated, with juicy pear, a citrus edge, and a fine balance of fruit sweetness, fresh acidity, and a lingering, textured finish.

Dashwood embraces the natural beauty of the coastlines and unique flora and fauna that are synonymous with New Zealand. Taking inspiration from the native Pohutukawa that flowers in summertime along New Zealand’s coastlines, our wines embody the care and respect we have for our precious environment.

Grapes were selectively harvested at full ripeness from Marlborough’s two winegrowing valleys; the Wairau Valley and the Awatere Valley. Left on skins for a period of time the grapes were then gently pressed into stainless steel tanks, cold settled and then racked for fermentation. Yeast strains were selected to enhance the particular aromas of Pinot Gris and fermentation was kept at cool temperatures to preserve fresh aromatics and fruit purity. Post fermentation each component was carefully blended and prepared for bottling early to retain freshness.
