Pinot Gris

Flooding, wild winds and frost in spring of the 2024 vintage was followed by a warm and dry flowering period with excellent fruit set.  A warm summer ripened the fruit beautifully, and the cool nights of early autumn allowed excellent acid retention. Our crop volume was down slightly due to a frost in late October, along with fruit thinning at veraison. The remaining fruit was beautifully ripe and even, and delivered to Matt to work his magic on! Find a shady spot on a hot New Zealand summer's day and enjoy this delicious Pinot Gris. Fresh and vibrant, it is perfect summer drinking on its own or paired with a variety of food.
