A light-textured, mineral wine with fresh apple and lemon flavours and a crisp, racy acidity. This wine is crafted to allow for long and graceful bottle-aging. However, the wine is already drinking well and pairs perfectly with a wide range of food, from light poultry, pork and fish with beurre blanc to fragrant and spicy dishes.

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..

A unique, flavoursome and very intense medium-bodied wine with flinty, almost salty notes, passionfruit flavours and a dry finish. Pairs exquisitely with raw oysters, tempura vegetables and delicate white fish like flounder and crayfish with lemongrass.
