TASTING NOTES FOR Giesen 0% Pinot Gris Marlborough Waipara New Zealand NV

🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with light golden hues, bright and fresh in the glass.

👃 Aromas
Delicate and lifted, showing white flowers, lychee and red apple with subtle pear and floral nuances. Clean and aromatically expressive.

👅 Palate
Light and fruit-driven, delivering classic Pinot Gris flavours of apple and pear with a subtle hint of muscat. Gently off-dry in style, balanced by fresh acidity for an easy-drinking profile.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Soft and smooth with a light, refreshing mouthfeel. The finish is clean and crisp, with lingering orchard fruit and a gentle sweetness.

🍇 Overall Style
A modern alcohol-removed Pinot Gris—fresh, lightly off-dry and fruit-forward. Designed to retain varietal character while offering a lighter, easy-drinking, alcohol-free alternative with real New Zealand personality.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with fresh seafood, salads, light pasta dishes or soft cheeses. Also works well with lightly spiced Asian cuisine.

BBD Verdict
A standout alcohol-free white—bright, approachable and full of flavour. Ideal for mixed dozens where you want a quality 0% option that still delivers true Pinot Gris character and broad appeal.
