Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Grown on the southern bank of the Awatere River, the Seddon Vineyard sits on an elevated and exposed site in southern Marlborough. The unique micro-climate and papa soil imparts concentrated fruit flavours and a perfumed bouquet of baking spices, with a finely textured creamy finish from time on yeast lees.
This Pinot Gris is sourced from our iconic Seddon Vineyard on the southern bank of the Awatere River. The vineyard site is situated on the southern bank of the Awatere River in Marlborough, sheltered from the cooling weather patterns resulting in a warm meso-climate. The loam soils have a distinctive soft clay "papa-rock" base allowing grapes to easily achieve physiological ripeness and fruit concentration. The vineyard has several terraces gradually gaining in altitude away from the riverbank, with vine ages between 15-20 years old.
This is a rich, textural wine with a creamy palate from spending extended time ageing on yeast lees. Aromas of fresh honeycomb intermingle with juicy summer peaches and crushed almonds. The fleshy palate is framed by a soft but balanced acidity with savoury finish."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"A definitive bouquet with aromas of fresh apple and white nectarine, crumbled stone mineral and a fine lees layer adds complexity. A floral blossom also adding charm. A brief satin touch is followed by a spice and lees quality before the fruit flavours of pear and apple then a juicy white nectarine flavours coat the palate. Acidity refreshes the palate adding a crisp texture as well. Best drinking from 2023 through 2028."
4 ½ Stars Michael Cooper (2022 Vintage)
"One of the country’s top Pinot Gris, this Awatere Valley wine is estate-grown and partly barrel-fermented. The 2022 vintage is still unfolding. Bright, light lemon/green, it is mouthfilling and vibrant, with strong, youthful peach, pear and lychee flavours, fractional sweetness, fresh acidity and a finely poised, lingering finish. Best drinking 2025+"
