The cool weather of the Awatere Valley brings out the brilliant aromatics in Pinot Gris. The bouquet of our 2018 is a beautiful compilation of spicy pear, nashi, bright fruit and ginger. The palate is rich, oily and viscous with the bright, fresh acidity it is known for.
Pretty Nice Surprise
Crisp acidity to start with and supported by its mid-full body and aromas of ginger and melon. Love that iconic Marlborough mineral on both the nose and palate - I am usually not a fan of Pinot Gris (find it usually to bland) but I picked up the same characteristics that I usually find in a Marlborough Sauvignon blanc - that same nice mineral.
I tasted this with sunny side eggs and toast and it worked well~ Yup... not the normal kind of 'wine pairing' you expect but when you have a brunch next time, that's something you can try.

excellent pinot gris
I am not normally a great fan of pinot gris but this was very enjoyable and great value. Well worth the experiment.
