Marlborough Pinot Gris
2025
Fresh with a fruity grin — pear and subtle spice, bright, supple, and perfectly poised.
Family Reserve Marlborough Pinot Gris
Crafted from specially selected vineyards positioned throughout Marlborough comes this rich, full bodied Pinot Gris. This stunningly juicy wine is dry in style, offering red apple, pear, stone-fruit and spice flavours with a soft, elegant finish.
Tasting Notes
Pear and ripe citrus with red apple, lifted by sweet florals and a touch of lime. Fresh apple and pear joined by nectarine and persimmon. Creamy textured and spicy with lingering warmth.
Winemaker Notes
Fruit was harvested from vineyards in the Waihopai & Wairau Valleys, Marlborough. After some skin contact the fruit was pressed. The juice spent 48hrs stirring on lees prior to clarification to build mouthfeel. Fermented in tank.
Food Pairing
Works well with snapper fillets, rolled in fresh breadcrumbs and shallow fried, or with hot baked ham and glazed kumara.
