Northrow Marlborough Pinot Gris 2023

Description

Dry, Floral, Pear

This Pinot Gris has fresh and inviting aromas of ripe pear, crunchy red apple and floral blossoms, leading to a rich and delicately balanced mouthfeel with a delicious and persistent finish.

Northrow takes its name from the northernmost row of vines in a vineyard, which is the first to greet the morning light and enjoys the most sunshine throughout the day. Northrow wines capture this special ‘sun-meets-grapevine’ magic, highlighting the bright, vibrant flavours that come from these long, sunny days. Whether you’re gazing at the sunset or a enjoying a meal with friends, Northrow wines bring a touch of delight.

The Marlborough growing season started well with very little frost pressure during spring and healthy soil moisture levels providing lush and vibrant vine canopies. The start of summer 2023 was mild; February temperatures were below the long-term average. However, the weather settled over harvest and delivered a beautiful, dry and warm Indian summer allowing for optimal ripening conditions.

Food Pairing: Can be enjoyed on its own or with soft cheeses, chicken or seafood dishes.
