mouCatherine Keith and her father Tony Rutherford operate Mount Brown Estates in North Canterbury. Owning three vineyards in the Waipara Valley, they have the resource of well-established vineyards and mature vines, to make their wines. Winemaker Frank Manifold is very experienced, and has made highly creditable wines across a broad spectrum of varieties. Frank reports that Pinot Gris was a success in what was a cooler growing season marred by rain for some varieties and styles. Here, I review the 2017 Mount Brown Pinot Gris. www.mountbrown.co.nz
