Modelled on the heady textural Pinot Gris' of Alsace. The fruit was 100% sourced from the Te Muna Road subregion of Martinborough and fermented in old French puncheons to create a wine of depth and richness.
CURRENT VINTAGE: 2026 GRIS Pinot Gris
The nose offers inviting aromas of crystallised ginger and fresh pear layered with custard and baking spices. The palate is rich and concentrated, showing generous fruit intensity and mid-palate weight. Flavours of ripe pear and apple flow seamlessly through a silky texture, complemented by hints of spice. Made in a dry style, the wine combines power and softness while retaining clear varietal expression - a true reflection of Martinborough’s unique terroir and the 2026 vintage.
