Dashwood Marlborough Pinot Gris 2026

Description

Dry, Pear, Vanilla

Ripe pear, lychee and citrus lead the way, complemented by delicate white floral and spice notes. The palate is fresh and concentrated, with flavours of juicy pear and a bright citrus edge. Lively acidity and a subtle fruit sweetness create a beautifully balanced wine, with a textured palate and lingering 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.
