"Its fabulously ripe and fragrant, showing rockmelon, green pear, lemon peel and white floral aromas on the nose, leading to a beautifully textured palate offering succulent fruit flavours combined with silky texture, making it delectable and instantly appealing. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

This wine has fresh aromas of elderflower and yellow roses. The palate has a luscious mouthfeel, with warm fruit flavours of lychee, citrus zest and nashi pears balancing the vibrant finish.

Fruit for this Pinot Gris is sourced from two vineyards in the North Island. Care is taken in the vineyard to ensure the crops are not high and that the fruit is exposed so that it can ripen well.

The focus in the winery is to capture the pure fruit flavours that come from the vineyard, whilst adding complexity through our winemaking efforts to produce a multi-dimensional wine. This is achieved by tank fermenting the juice using yeasts that are able to ferment at low temperatures – preserving the essential fruit flavours.

Food Pairing: A good match for pork and apple sauce, and an excellent foil for spicy Asian food.
