"Soft, fleshy pinot gris with honeysuckle, stewed pear, apple and root ginger flavours supported by gentle acidity and fine, peppery phenolics. Offers good value at this price" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2022

Aromas of red apple, pears, and spice. Flavours of baked apple, pear and ripe white peach. Generous and supple on the palate with a persistent finish. Easy to drink on its own, or to match with food.

Grapes from each vineyard are picked when the flavors start to get interesting. One parcel of fruit was given extended time on skins to impart texture and flavor. Fermentation is carried out in a mixture of stainless steel (85%) and old French barrels (15%). Wines were left on lees for 5months to build texture and complexity prior to blending.

Nobody’s Hero Marlborough Pinot Gris is a flavorsome, satisfying wine made in the Framingham way. Here, we prefer a generous style with subtle layers of complexity. Wine for those who just want to be themselves.

Food Pairing: Rich pork dishes, or roast chicken and smoked salmon.
