"Offering good value, this medium to full-bodied wine is drinking well in its youth. Bright, light lemon/green, it is attractively scented, with good concentration of ripe pear and spice flavours, a hint of apricot and a dryish finish" Winestate Magazine

Light golden yellow with bright green hues. Lifted floral aromas with juicy apple, peach and pear notes and a hint of creaminess on the nose. Very appealing on the palate with vibrant fruit flavours and a silky, rounded mouthfeel.

Vintage 2022 provided the warmest weather on record in New Zealand. This along with favourable rain post flowering set up a fantastic fruit crop for our 2022 wines. An early and compact harvest along with hard work allowed our talented winemaker to produce fabulous wines that rival the last two years vintages with well balanced flavour and acidity. The grapes were sourced from a number of vineyard sites in Hawke’s Bay.

After a slow, temperature controlled fermentation a small portion of the final blend went through malolactic fermentation to create a softer richer style of Pinot Gris. Following blending, the wine was bottled young to capture the aromatic characters and freshness.

Food Pairing: This wine is delicious on its own or enjoy slightly chilled with a chicken Caesar salad.
