Profile
This pinot gris has been nurtured all the way through from vine to glass. All grapes are hand harvested, so you can be sure you are drinking only the finest grapes. Gentle floral aromas and concentrated pear and apricots take the palate by hold. After being delicately aged on lees, a subtle nuttiness shines through with lingering mineral notes giving balance. It is composed and complex, displaying all the wonders Central Otago wine has to offer.Â

Region
Central Otago
Central Otago is the New Zealand's highest and the world's most southerly wine region at latitude 45°S. It has cold winters, hot summers, cool nights and low rainfall, and is ideally suited to Pinot Noir, which covers 80% of plantings. The rest is mainly planted to Chardonnay, with smatterings of Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris. Expect character and intensity as the hallmarks of this marginal region.
