Each year we strive to deliver a Gris that explores the potential of this variety. Our cool climate instils each release with minerality and natural acid backbone, providing for a wine with true character.
Pale lemon in colour, with faint pear-juice translucence and gentle viscosity in the glass. The aroma is quietly expressive: Apple blossom, nashi pear and a lift of citrus peel. On the palate, the wine opens with softness and shape, then tightens with fine phenolic grip. Natural acidity brings focus and length, while subtle lees ageing in seasoned oak adds texture and whisper of fresh almond. A poised, textural Pinot Gris, fresh, balanced and quietly persistent.
Summary: Juicy, floral, and textured, this Pinot Gris offers stone fruit, citrus zest, and a hint of pastry charm – vibrant and mouthwatering with a mineral lift.
Cellaring: Best enjoyed fresh, though it will hold well through 2027.
