Tasting Notes
This Pinot Gris bursts with aromatic complexity, featuring notes of Pacific Rose apples, fresh rock melon, and white flowers, with underlying hints of Manuka honey, lime, and toasted cinnamon. On the palate, the wine is beautifully textured, showcasing a grapefruit pithy bite, driven by vibrant acidity and a mineral backbone that mimics biting into a crunchy apple. Aged on light lees for five months, it develops subtle brioche nuances, adding layers of complexity. The finish is persistent, clean, and refreshingly dry, making it an ideal pairing for prawns, summer salads, or light seafood dishes.
