Wairarapa Pinot Gris lands on the fuller side, offering ripe pear, red apple, peach and melon with hints of honey, almond and ginger. A waxy texture gives substance, while balanced acidity keeps the finish clean. Pair it with salmon, seafood pasta or mildly spiced dishes.

It's finely scented on the nose, showing apricot, lemon sorbet and white floral nuances, followed by a beautifully linear palate offering excellent focus with a hint of sweetness, finishing long and vibrant. Style: Off-dry. At its best: now to 2030. Score - 93. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, June 2024)

Charming and elegantly expressed, the bouquet shows sweet cherry, mixed spice, game and roasted almond characters, followed by a juicy palate delivering smooth mouthfeel and fine tannins.
