This classic Hawke's Bay Pinot Gris expresses aromatics of baked pear and spice with red apple and an elegant floral lift. This wine is refreshing and light with a pure fruit palate that finishes dry with lovely length.

Grapes for this wine were grown in the beautiful Tukituki valley in Hawke's Bay. Healthy soils and vine siwth good fruit exposure to sunlight produced grapes showing excellent flavour intensity and ripeness. The cooler than normal growing season of 2023 has produced a more elegant, refrshing style of Pinot Gris from Hawke's Bay.

The fruit for this wine was gently destemmed and pressed immediately to attain beight, clean juice. The naturally settled juice was then racked clear and temperatures has retained fruit purity and the acid/sugar balance was achieved by stopping the ferment before complete dryness. A short maturation on light lees has added a fine texture and body to the wine.

Food Pairing: Pasta, fish, antipasto and salads.
