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.
