Kumeu River Estate Pinot Gris 2025

Description

Floral, Off-dry, Peach

The aromas have typical peach and stone fruit notes tinged with the floral perfume that we have come to expect from Pinot Gris. On the palate the wine is rich and complex with a lively texture on the palate. Pinot Gris is a variety that goes particularly well with food, including quite intensely flavoured dishes. It is also one of the few wine styles that can handle the spiciness of chilli, so together with the sweet succulence of prawns, a nicely chilled bottle of Kumeu River Pinot Gris makes up a spectacular combination.

The Pinot Gris vineyards we have in Kumeu are producing grapes of high quality consistently that allow us to make wine that is rich, complex and delicious. The 2025 vintage was excellent and the Pinot Gris grapes were ripe, clean and a pleasure to harvest. The wild yeast fermentation took place in tanks over an extended period and has produced wine of layered complexity and lusciousness.
