Small batch Pinot Gris that embodies the attributes of New Zealand's Marlborough region, respecting the land using sustainable practices.
Tasting note
Bright aromas of citrus and juicy pear. On the palate flavours of fresh quince and crisp golden apple blend seamlessly with hints of spice. The bouquet is followed by a rich mouth-filling texture enhanced by an appetising acidity, dry with a mineral finish.
