An organic wine grown in living soil. This Pinot Gris wine is a true reflection of the
grape. Clean and vibrant, a pure expression of New Zealand nature.

Aroma & Palate

This wine is pale lemon-gold in colour. Fragrant aromas of crunchy pear, and apple
skin with a hint of rosehip lead you in. The medium-bodied palate is brimming with more joyously juicy orchard fruits, and as the wine opens up, hints of spice, dried figs and citrus peel emerge. This is a wine of elegant simplicity, that over-delivers on primary, immediate fruit freshness, perfectly balanced ripeness and acidity.

Food Matches

This is gorgeously cheerful, fruit-forward wine that will be perfect served well chilled with fresh, simple dishes. Salty aperitifs, olives and shellfish, or summer picnic food will be a great match. For something a little richer, try grilled pork loin in Dijon mustard and crème fraiche sauce. Salty cheeses such as feta or halloumi in a salad scattered with some honey pecans will work brilliantly too.

WINEMAKING DETAILS

The Pinot Gris for this wine was harvested on 31st March 2020, in optimal, dry harvest conditions. Machine harvesters were used and then the fruit immediately trucked to the winery for gentle pneumatic pressing with minimal skin contact. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with carefully selected aromatic yeasts.

After fermentation the wine was simply stabilised, then filtered before bottling. No oak was used in the winemaking, as the emphasis was on preserving the varietal fruit notes. This wine is certified as organic and vegan.
