The palate is generous and finely textured, offering flavours of ripe stonefruit, citrus peel, and a hint of almond. Bright acidity brings freshness and drive, while time on lees adds weight and a silky finish. Delicious upon release, this wine will improve for 3-5 years post vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/Scale_-_Dry.png?v=1773371321\" alt=\"Scale_-_Dry\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 growing season in Renwick was marked by a steady, dry summer with a few cool spring mornings and just enough rain before harvest to reinvigorate the vines without causing disruption. These balanced conditions suited Pinot Gris perfectly, encouraging slow, even ripening and generous bunch development. As harvest approached, bunch weights continued to build, and we were rewarded with fruit showing excellent texture and flavour concentration. The wine is already showing strong varietal character and finesse. It’s shaping up to be a standout expression of Pinot Gris from a generous and well-paced vintage. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit was machine-picked using a destemming harvester before being pressed and fermented with an aromatic yeast strain in stainless steel tanks - the sole aim being to reflect and preserve the flavours and aromas grown in the vineyard. A small portion w as fermented in old oak barrels to provide a textural element. After fermentation, the wine was kept in contact with the lees for four months. This classic technique enhances creaminess and integrates the flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood Pairing: Soft shell crab in tempura batter with a lime-chilli dip.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Negociants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50831157166397,"sku":"NAUPIG","price":185.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/26014-1.jpg?v=1744063461","url":"https:\/\/www.blackmarket.co.nz\/products\/nautilus-estate-marlborough-pinot-gris-2025","provider":"Black Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
