Church Road is one of Hawke's Bay's pioneering wineries, and its McDonald Series wines celebrate one of its original owners from the early 1900s, Tom McDonald, and his entrepreneurial spirit. New for Vintage Cellars, Church Road McDonald Series Pinot Gris is a hedonistic style with its rich perfume and texture and a seductive natural sweetness balanced by a touch of spice on the finish. Appealing ripe pear, peach, rose petal, ginger and warm spice aromas are evident on the nose, complimented by subtle creamy complexity. On the palate the wine is lush and full bodied with a moderate level of sweetness balanced by gentle acidity and a touch of ginger spice on the finish.

This lovely Pinot Noir offers all aromas associated with the classic grape variety - apple and pear, with a touch of spice. These aromas shift to a textured and juicy palate, which eventually culminates in a refreshing finish. Pair it with white meat dishes or fish accompanied by rich and creamy sauces.

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.

Pronounced La Mas-kera, this label is named after the masks revellers wear at the Carnival of Venice held each year in Italy. In the glass: Pale straw.On the nose: Ripe pear and white melon.

When making the 2013 Sidewood Pinot Gris, winemaker Tash Mooney carefully selects the best parcels of fruit from the vineyard that are hand-picked once the Pinot Gris has reached optimum Baume. It then begins its journey through the winery from being whole bunch pressed through to the fermentation process, ensuring at all times that the wines are at optimum temperatures to ascertain the quality of the wine. The 2013 Pinot Gris is pale straw with copper-pink hues, this wine displays vibrant aromas of guava and passionfruit on the nose. This leads to an intense flavour of nashi pear and tropical fruits on the palate with great structure from the crisp and well balanced acid. With its full structure, superb minerality and generous full mid palate it finishes with outstanding length and balance. A great accompaniment to freshly seared scallops, aromatic Thai spiced dishes or enjoy with a grilled vegetable cous cous as a vegetarian option.

2017 Hentyfarm Pinot Gris Our Hentyfarm Pinot Gris is a story about an amazing vineyard site in Drumborg, Henty. Owned and tended by ‘biological farmers’ Jack & Lois Doeven. They had a terrible time in the beginning with the planting of Pinot Gris, having to re-plant twice back in the nineties. Hentyfarm was lucky to be allocated some of this precious fruit again in 2017 . This is the first Pinot Gris we have made working with Ray Nadeson at Lethbridge. He has really nailed it ! the style is in keeping with our wines as well as a clean textured finish. Colour : Light Golden colour with Pinky Silver highlights Bouquet: Perfumed Nashi Pear, honeysuckle and hay Palate: Crisp Green Apple and Pear flavours with some lime and grapefruit extending to the finish Cellaring: This wine is great for summer drinking, cold and fresh with chilli snacks and Asian style dishes.

Attractive coppery pink in the glass. The nose has notes of musk, candied orange peel, fresh blood orange, sour cherry, fresh herbs and a slight Campari twist. Bitter-edged on the palate with that blood orange note, with musky pear, peach and strawberry fruit. It has a soft phenolic texture along with zesty tannins that add a pleasant grip. Finishes dry, clean and tangy. Engaging and moreish, with impressive finesse for this style of wine, and with a good volume of fresh fruit to balance the phenolic and savoury skinsy elements.
