A classic Pinot Gris originally influenced by the style of wines from Alsace but developed over the years into uniquely Martinborough style.
Exotic aromas of guava and pink grapefruit, blend with pineapple and apple strudel. The palate is smooth and velvety with flavours of nutmeg, lemon custard and hints of beeswax. The finish has a citrus pith, textural feel that keeps it fresh, with pastry savoury notes.
From vines now over 23 years of age, the depth and complexity of flavour make it one of our favourite food and wine matching choices, especially for anything with heady spice and/or challenging flavours. Fermented in neutral barrels for extra texture, this Pinot Gris will benefit from bottle age.
