AWARDS & REVIEWS:
5 STARS (93 POINTS) - Wine Orbit

"Elegant and finely scented, the bouquet offers nuances of Nashi pear, rockmelon, Gala apple, and white flowers. It's succulent and supple in the mouth, offering youthful fruit flavours with fine texture and bright acidity, making it charming and delightfully appealing." - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Varietal and fresh, with a satin mouthfeel and flavours of green pears and apple. There’s a natural spice quality enhanced by the phenolic mouthfeel and gentle residual sweetness. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from 2026 through mid 2028. A food wine ideal with soft, fragrant, spiced dishes. Try it with a mild fish biryani." - The Shout, Cameron Douglas MS

NOSE & PALATE: Aromas of spicy fresh pear, red apple and stone fruit combine beautifully with a creamy, fruit driven palate that is smooth, mouthwatering and has a lovely long finish.

WINEMAKING: A range of Pinot Gris blocks were harvested separately, pressed and cold settled. The juice was fermented using an aromatic yeast to enhance the flavour and richness of the wine. The fermentation was somewhat cool at around 15-16C to preserve the Pinot Gris characters. Fermentation was stopped leaving a small amount of residual sugar to balance the wine and increase its drinkability. The wine was left on gross lees for 3 weeks then racked to fine lees until blending. At blending, adding in 8% Riesling from the Waiata vineyard helped enhance the aromatics and drive of the wine.
