Trophy for Champion Pinot Gris – Aotearoa Regional Wine Competition 2024

"Our Reserve Pinot Gris has inviting nashi pear, apricot, and rock melon aromas, with a hint of spice. Full of fruit character, but not too sweet, this off-dry wine is delightfully drinkable. The flavours linger long after your glass is empty.

The near-perfect conditions during vintage ensured our Pinot Gris was harvested at full physiological ripeness, while some cooler evening conditions during harvest ensured that acidity was kept in balance. This must be one of the best vintages this region has ever seen!" Winery notes (2024 Vintage)

"Vibrant and new with a bouquet filled with scents of green pears and apples, quince and lees. There’s a distinctive new release energy from lees and So2, a bouquet with attributes fighting for attention. Crisp and dry, plenty of texture and fruit spice, lees and flavours. Fruit and non fruit flavours mirror the bouquet accentuated by a crisp acid line and energy. Best drinking from Summer 2025 through 2027." 92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, July 2024 (2024 Vintage)

"This is gorgeously ripe and fragrant on the nose with apricot, Nashi pear, Gala apple and lemon peel aromas, followed by a succulent palate offering terrific fruit intensity and persistency. Delightfully expressed with excellent fruit purity, making it fabulously drinkable. At its best: now to 2027." 5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, June 2024 (2024 Vintage)
