🍷 Appearance
Pale straw to light gold in the glass with brilliant clarity. The colour reflects the wine’s richness and gentle texture typical of Marlborough Pinot Gris.
👃 Aroma (Nose)
Inviting aromatics of ripe pear, quince and red apple lift from the glass. Floral hints of honeysuckle and subtle white spice add complexity, with delicate citrus peel notes providing freshness.
👅 Palate
Generous and textural with flavours of pear, apple and stone fruit layered with touches of orange peel and spice. The palate shows richness and depth while maintaining vibrancy and balance.
⚖️ Structure
Medium-bodied with a satin-like texture and lively acidity providing balance and freshness. Partial lees ageing and gentle oak influence add subtle complexity and mouthfeel.
🔚 Finish
Long and balanced with lingering orchard fruit, light spice and a crisp mineral edge that keeps the finish clean and refreshing.
🍇 Overall Style
A rich yet elegant Marlborough Pinot Gris inspired by Alsace styles—textural, aromatic and beautifully balanced, combining ripe orchard fruit with subtle spice and bright acidity.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Excellent with roast pork, chicken dishes, seafood, creamy pasta, pâté or soft cheeses.
