"This is immediately appealing on the nose with ripe nectarine, pear, subtle spice and white floral aromas. The palate is equally attractive with beautifully rounded mouthfeel combined with juicy acidity, finishing long and comforting. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2023

This Vegan friendly Pinot Gris is pale straw in colour with lifted aromas of vanilla and French pear with just a hint of warm pastry. The palate exhibits saucy spiced pears, creamy vanilla custard, and a snap of minerality on the finish.

This 2023 Pinot Gris was sourced from vineyards within Marlborough Southern and Omaka Valley’s. The fruit was harvested in the cool of the morning and gently pressed at the winery.

The juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to retain the delicate fruit aromatics. Prior to blending, the wine was kept on light lees to help build a creamy texture and complexity on the palate, the wine was then blended and stablised before being carefully bottled.
Drinking easily from release, this pleasing Pinot Gris will continue to satisfy for the next three years.
