Description

• Dry style

As we open the door and go inside your first breath is a blend of Burnt orange, mandarin peels, and spices. Hold that thought. That’s the beautiful aroma of this Pinot Gris. Now let’s indulge in one of those vibrant summer stone fruit pastries in the cabinet. The first bite, surprisingly, isn’t sweet. Instead, it’s simple and clean, a delicate balance of acidity with a cream-like texture in the mouth. It’s full of fresh-cut peaches, oranges, a little spice and with a slight sweetness to finish. You can’t help but take another bite just to make sure you got it all. Maybe one more. Do you feel like kissing the baker? That’s what you can expect from this easy-to-drink, Marlborough Pinot Gris.

Harvested entirely from the clay-rich soils of Marlborough’s southern valleys including our flagship Eyrie vineyard in the Waihopai Valley.

Crushed and pressed immediately after harvest before undergoing a cool fermentation to retain a crisp freshness.
