Intense freshly sliced white pear, with baking spices such as cinnamon and clove dominate the aromatics on this Seddon Pinot Gris. On the palate, fresh stone fruits intermingle with savoury almond and vanilla pod flavours. This richly textured single vineyard wine has a delicate acidity, with a luscious and weighty finish.
This single vineyard site in the Awatere Valley is sheltered from the cooling southern weather patterns, resulting in a very warm mesoclimate. The loam soils have a distinctive soft clay “papa-rock” base allowing gapes to easily achieve physiological ripeness and fruit concentration in a cool climate region. Enjoy with fragrant Asian cuisine or slow roasted pork belly. Or serve lightly chilled as an aperitif.
