Astrolabe Marlborough Pinot Gris
Grown in the Waihopai and Awatere Valleys. The Gris has aromas of white fleshed stonefruit and fresh pear, with a little vanilla pod, cardamom and citrus zest. The palate is pure, easy-drinking wine with a fine minerality and delicacy of structure. Stonefruit and pear flavours dominate. Another beaut from Astrolabe..
Mountadam Eden Valley Pinot Gris
The wine has a mild salmon pink colour which will develop further with time. It shows delicate aromatics of jasmine blossom and ripe melon with a dry palate that has abundant textural flavours of ripe apples and pear. The distinct citrus backbone will ensure the wine rewards aging for at least 5 years.
Primo Estate JOSEPH d'Elena Pinot Grigio
Joe Grilli, Primo Estate’s owner and winemaker, named his Pinot Grigio 'd’Elena' as he planted his single hectare of Pinot Grigio vines the week his daughter Elena was born in 1998. Eighteen years later, the vines have developed deep roots in the shale stone soil and produce a savoury style Pinot Grigio with minerality and elegance. The fruit is handpicked and very gently pressed before fermentation in stainless steel. The wine is bottled early to preserve the delicate fruit characters. Best enjoyed young, this wine will drink well for several years. The d'Elena offers fresh citrus fruit acidity and light pear fruit. This wine's natural acidic balance and savoury mineral length make it the perfect food wine.
Warner Vineyard Roussanne-Marsanne

Brilliant water like colour with a faint greenish tinge to the edges. Pear, green apple and lime aromas mix with some flinty mineral notes. Light and racy across the palate, green pear, Granny Smith apple and lime fruits are underpinned by crunchy acidity. Finishes dry with some flinty mineral infusions lingering on the refreshingly crisp aftertaste. Drink over the next 1-2 years. Alc. 12.8%
