As the Champion Pinot Gris at the New Zealand International Wine Show, this particular drop, hailing from the deep free draining Glasnevin gravels of the Waipara Valley, boasts a textured palate of apple and pear with a touch of ginger and a refreshing crisp finish. The 2016 vintage was stable and warm, allowing for slow and even development of flavours. Hence, the nose on this Pinot Gris holds hints of crisp red apple, quince and a hint of nougat; a lovely match with Asian dishes such as mildly spiced Szechuan chicken.
