The dry palate is refined, with ripe fruit, seamless flow, and added texture and spice from barrel aging. A full, balanced finish completes the wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstablished in 1984, Te Kairanga is an important part of the Martinborough wine story. Our home vineyards are planted on land that was originally owned by the founding father of Martinborough, John Martin. While our land is steeped in history, our winemaking is very much focused on the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith four vineyard sites in the Martinborough appellation, our winemaking team have a wide array of aromatics, flavours, textures and styles to work with. The Martinborough Terrace, one of New Zealand’s most coveted winegrowing sub-regions, is home to our Home and McLeod Vineyards. Once a riverbed, it features deep ancient gravel and alluvial soils. At slightly higher elevations with more extreme conditions are our Spring Rock and Rua vineyards. Our vineyards are sustainably farmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 season started early with warm spring weather, strong canopy growth, and excellent flowering, leading to high yields. Te Kairanga avoided spring frosts, but cooler, wet weather from mid-December to late January slowed progress. Ripening was steady, and harvest spanned 6.5 weeks. Despite some disease and weather pressure, most fruit reached full ripeness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the direction of Chief Winemaker, John Kavanagh, our winemaking philosophy places a premium on the character of each vineyard. Our 2024 Pinot Gris is made from individual vineyard parcels, gently pressed on arrival and cool fermented in stainless steel to maintain its clean, fresh flavour. A small portion of the fruit was fermented in old French oak puncheons to add extra texture and complexity to the wine. The wine was then aged on light lees before being blended and bottled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood Pairing: This Pinot Gris pairs beautifully with Chicken Yakitori.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50696235385149,"sku":"ESPG25ANH1E","price":119.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/TeKairangaEstateMartinboroughPinotGrisNV.jpg?v=1756941157","url":"https:\/\/www.blackmarket.co.nz\/products\/te-kairanga-estate-martinborough-pinot-gris-2025","provider":"Black Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
