Grove Mill Marlborough Pinot Gris 2025

Description

Dry, Floral, Spice

"This is immediately appealing on the nose, showing Nashi pear, rockmelon, lemon peel, and white floral aromas. The palate delivers succulent fruit intensity with fleshy texture and juicy acidity, finishing long and satisfying. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2025

Bright pale straw in the glass, this Pinot Gris offers vibrant aromas of ripe pear, lychee, and citrus, lifted by delicate white floral and subtle spice nuances. On the palate, fresh and concentrated flavours of ripe pear are complemented by a zesty citrus edge. The wine is finely balanced, with a harmonious interplay between juicy fruit sweetness, refreshing acidity, and a gently textured mouthfeel. Lively and energetic, it finishes long and moreish, inviting another sip.

The fruit for our Pinot Gris is primarily harvested from our lower Wairau Vineyards giving us a variety of character. Cool nights during ripening and typically warm, dry summers, maintain concentrated flavours in our grapes.

The grapes were selectively harvested at full ripeness and taken directly into the winery before being gently pressed to tank followed by settling and racking. Post fermentation the wine was kept on lees for 3 months to build weight and texture before blended and prepped for bottled.

Food Pairing: Try alongside dishes with any roast meat and grilled vegetable or any dessert that incorporates fresh red berries and pastry.
