Tuatara Bay Marlborough Pinot Gris 2026

Description

Dry, Floral, Melon

The wine opens with an elegant bouquet of honeyed pear, gentle spice, and delicate pastry nuances. The palate is bright and expressive, revealing ripe pear layered with a touch of cinnamon and subtle mineral notes, leading into a crisp, elongated finish. 

Fruit was sourced from carefully selected Marlborough vineyards, chosen for their vibrant expression and balance. Each parcel was monitored throughout the growing season and harvested at optimal ripeness to capture purity and intensity. At the winery, the fruit was gently pressed and cool-fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness and aromatic clarity. Following fermentation, a period on lees enhanced texture, adding depth and finesse before the wine was carefully prepared for bottling. 

Food Pairing: Enjoy on its own or pair with Japanese cuisine—sashimi and chicken yakitori make particularly harmonious companion.
