Pinot Gris, Rocky Vineyard, Awatere Valley
2024
This wine is made from beautifully sun ripened fruit grown on our established Rocky Vineyard vines. Fresh white florals of rose and jasmine are complemented by lifted aromatics of pear, subtle spice and a touch of honey. On harvest day, the fruit was soaked on skins until the desired level of tannin and flavour was gently extracted before pressing. This approach was chosen to build structure and complexity in the finished wine. While the flavour profile is ripe and expressive, the wine remains dry and mineral in style, offering a clear and honest expression of our much loved Rocky Vineyard in the 2024 season.
