As the back label says, "The rugged landscape of Central Otago is synonymous with stunning lake vistas, golden poplars and sublime Pinot Gris". We'd have to agree. Made in a dry style and given some oak ageing, this wine from grapes grown around Wanaka, has a real burst of golden autumn fruits.
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"The Lakes, masterfully crafted from hand picked grapes, grown on premium sites near Lake Wanaka. Skilled winemaking combines the separate components to retain bright, lively fruit complexity. This wine boasts and aromatic complexity. This wine boasts an aromatic array of ripe pear, honeysuckle & quince all leading to a long rich palate with a touch of spice and a hint of nougat."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"It's splendidly ripe and elegantly fragrant on the nose with apricot, poached pear, lemon peel and jasmine aromas, leading to a succulent palate offering excellent weight and generous texture. Well supported by juicy acidity, finishing delectable and lingering. At its best: now to 2027."
