Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"Influenced by Marlborough’s memorable style, our Reserve Pinot Gris has crunchy nashi pear, apricot, and melon aromas, with a hint of spice. Full of fruit on the palate, but not too sweet, this off-dry wine is made in our very own signature style."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, June 2025 (2025 Vintage)
"Pristine and delightfully expressive, the wine presents notes of green rockmelon, Nashi pear, lemon peel, and white floral nuances on the nose. It's equally appealing on the palate, delivering bright fruit flavours with fleshy texture and fine acidity, finishing long and refreshing. At its best: now to 2028."
92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2025 (2025 Vintage)
"Classic bouquet and palate filled with flavours of green pears and yellow apples. There’s a hint of quince and plenty of leesy textures and complexity with a light-beer idea. A satin texture with plenty of acidity for crispness and freshness and flavours that reflect the pomaceous drive at the core of this wine. Best drinking from 2025 through 2027."
