The fruit for this opulent Urlar Pinot Gris was handpicked in the cool of early morning. The wine underwent traditional fermentation in old French oak barrels. Poured into a glass, the resulting drink flaunts bright lemon hues. The fragrant nose exhibits lovely aromas of honeysuckle, sweet pear and stonefruit. These delightful characters replicate on the dry and juicy palate, which offers a full mouthfeel. The finish is long and persistent, owing to the creamy texture obtained via lees stirring. This elegant white wine will get better with up to 5 years of careful cellaring. Relish it with ricotta cheese, pork dishes or mild Asian preparations.

This Pinot Gris combines fruit from premium sites in Central Otago, including Maude's mature family owned vineyard in Wanaka, Mt Maude. This Pinot gris has typical aromas of ripe pear, quince and brioche lead onto a rich textured palate where whole bunch pressing and partial barrel fermentation has created complexity.

The fruit was entirely hand-harvested and allowed 6 hours skin contact in the press before fermentation was carried out at cool temperatures to maximise fruit expression. This wine shows all the hallmarks of easy-going, classic Italian Pinot Grigio; subtle grapefruit and underlying floral and spice notes on the nose followed by citrus and peach flavours bound together by a tight minerality.

The nose is aromatic with mandarin, melon and lemon rind. The palate is fresh and rich - stone fruits and citrus with clean, crisp acidity. Texture and mouth feel with weight and layers of flavour.

Brokenwood Pinot Gris is sourced from a wonderful vineyard site in Beechworth that allows this rich and textural Pinot Gris to show its true colours. Aromas and flavours of peach, melon, honeysuckle and candied pear are all present in a delicious true Gris style.

This is a very fine Gris. Its elegant nose shows hints of citrus, grapefruit, musk and apricot while on the palate the wine is structured and remarkably tight with mineral characteristics supporting rich, tropical fruit. The acid is very fresh and the length impeccable.
