New kid on the Central Otago block but one to watch.

Flooding, wild winds and frost in spring of the 2024 vintage was followed by a warm and dry flowering period with excellent fruit set.  A warm summer ripened the fruit beautifully, and the cool nights of early autumn allowed excellent acid retention. Our crop volume was down slightly due to a frost in late October, along with fruit thinning at veraison. The remaining fruit was beautifully ripe and even, and delivered to Matt to work his magic on! Find a shady spot on a hot New Zealand summer's day and enjoy this delicious Pinot Gris. Fresh and vibrant, it is perfect summer drinking on its own or paired with a variety of food.

A rich balanced palate showing Asian pear and lychee flavours, with a long clean finish. Winery

"Purity, freshness and lift frame the bouquet with scents of green pear and yellow apple, there’s a citrus peel and quince layer adding breadth. A lot more spice and lees textures shape the palate, plenty of acidity and freshness then fruit flavours that reelect the bouquet. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2027." 93/100 Cameron Douglas. MS
