Winemaker, Brent Marris (Marisco, Ned…) knows a thing or two about making tasty Pinot Gris. The Leefield Station vineyard project is a relatively recent addition to his range. Purchased in 2013 for partial vineyard conversion, the Leefield Station is an iconic Sheep and Beef station located in the heart of the Waihopai Valley, Marlborough. This is a genuinely dry style with rich spice, pineapple and pear flavours.
Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Floral aromas, pears, apples and a touch of spices define the nose of this wine. The palate is rich and abundant of fruity flavours of nashi pears and melon. The well managed acidity and sweetness provides a pleasing texture and mouthfeel.
The Pinot Gris fruit was field destemmed before being gently pressed to stainless steel tanks in preparation for fermentation. Purposely selected yeast strains were chosen to enhance the varietal intensity and mouthfeel, with a slow and steady fermentation to preserve these aromatics. After a short period of time on yeast lees the wine was fined and filtered prior to bottling."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Nice concentration with core fruit scents of fresh and baked brown pears, plenty of leesy spice ideas, apple and lemon with a touch of quince and white spice. A satin-creamy mouthfeel with flavours of pears, apples and citrus peel, medium+ acid line and super fine skin tannin textures. Well made, very good length and finish. Best from day of purchase through 2028."
