Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"This wine opens up with intriguing aromas of nashi pear, white peach and lemon curd, with subtle note of white florals. The palate shows concentration and the complexity of some time in old barrels. White peach, pears, honeysuckle, brioche as well as an almost ruby grapefruit like acidity. Beautifully balanced between fresh acidity and just a lick of sweetness, this wine finishes long and textural."

93/100 David Walker Bell, WineFolio.co.nz, April 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"A wine from Bendigo in Central Otago, that is often recognised as one of NZ’s best examples of the varietal. Fragrance is one of the key elements to a great Pinot Gris (alongside texture) in my opinion, and there is a complex set of flavours on show here. Citrus and spice come first, but there’s a richer baked pear, peach and brioche note underneath, and a lift of honeysuckle florals. A chalky minerality come into the medium-bodied palate that has enough concentration but doesn’t overwhelm the spaces in between that allow movement and complexity to bloom as you head towards the spicy, pithy finish. "

5 Stars Michael Cooper (2021 Vintage)
"The powerful, delicious 2021 vintage was estate-grown and hand-picked in the Cromwell Basin – at Bendigo (58 per cent) and Pisa (42 per cent) – and fermented and lees-aged in old oak barrels. Bright, light lemon/green, it is an Alsace-style Pinot Gris, sturdy and rich, with concentrated, ripe, peachy, slightly spicy flavours, showing a distinct touch of complexity, unobtrusive sweetness (6.4 grams/litre of residual sugar), balanced acidity and a finely textured, very harmonious finish. Drink now or cellar."

94/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, August 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Mellow, smooth-textured pinot gris with pear drop, lanolin, honeysuckle and subtle root ginger/yeast lees flavours supported by refreshing acidity and fine, ripe, drying tannins. Impressive wine with a dry, lingering finish."

93/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, December 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"Scents that start stony and savoury, a whiff of kombu and mushroom over peach, pear fruitiness. The palate has nashi pear, a lick of pink grapefruit freshness, halva and cashew nutty savouriness, a lick of truffle-like quality too. Slippery texture that draws long and finishes with lingering sweet spice and a little stony mineral quality. Excellent here, but drink young."

4 ½ Stars Yvonne Lorkin, December 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"Winemaker Paul Pujol has once again created an absolutely stunning pinot gris from fruit grown in the ‘schist-happens’ clay and chalk soils of their Rocky Point and Home vineyard in Bendigo, on some of the steepest slopes in the region. Fermented using wild, indigenous yeasts and matured on its yeast lees, it has incredible freshness and purity, yet has a deep, creamy, nutty, smouldering complexity on the finish. Nashi, quince, Golden Delicious apples, macadamia nuts, and hints of strudel spice and warm pastry make this absolutely glorious to gulp."
