Pinot Gris from New Zealand - Central Otago & Waitaki
Review Date : 25-Aug-2026
Bright, even, pale straw yellow with some depth. The nose is full, with aromas of Nashi pear, citrus, honeysuckle and pollen. Medium-bodied, dry to taste, aromas of Nashi pear, clementine, honeysuckle, pollen and subtle white spice. The fruit is pure with clarity, supported by fresh acidity and floral lift. Silky-textured phenolics adorn the mouthfeel and lend an elegant, long finish. Match with whitefish and dim sum over the next 3+ years. Small-batch fermentation in stainless steel tanks, cool-fermented to 13% alc. 18.5+/20 pts (94 pts) Aug 2026 RRP $35
