Monowai Hawke's Bay Pinot Gris 2022

Description

Dry, Melon, Pear

"Delightfully fruited and fragrant on the nose showing ripe stone fruit, Nashi pear, rich floral and subtle spice aromas, leading to an elegantly flavoursome palate delivering juicy fruit flavours with smooth texture. Well rounded and attractively drinking. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2022

"A satin textured palate with flavours of green and brown pers, apples and a whisper of white pepper quince. There’s a mealy texture too driven by the acid line and a touch of lees. Bright, fresh, fruity, balanced and well made. A food friendly wine or without food is equally enjoyable. Best from 2022 through 2025" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Nov 2022

Fragrant aromas of juicy nectarine and rock melon with hints of floral honey.  blends the freshness and pear notes of Italian Pinot Grigio with the richness of Alsatian Pinot Gris and is a real crowd pleaser. On the palate, a refreshing mix of ripe stone fruits, pear, spice and citrus notes, balanced with delicate acidity. 

Food Pairing: With gentle acidity, pip fruit aromatics and plush nectarines and spice on the palate, the Monowai Pinot Gris pairs well with a number of dishes and cuisines. This wine has the palate weight and richness to compliment creamy sauces and strong cheeses but also the finesse and freshness to enhance more subtle flavours too.
