Sourced from Marlborough’s celebrated vineyards, this wine showcases winemaker Jules Taylor’s artisanal approach since launching her own label in 2001. The 2024 vintage has earned critical recognition, scoring 91 points for its complexity and balance. Made from 100% Pinot Gris, with a portion of the fruit hand-harvested and the balance picked in the cool morning hours, it represents a full-bodied, almost completely dry style that sets it apart from mainstream offerings.

Nose: Layers of poached pear and stonefruit mingle with zesty grapefruit, while fragrant spicy notes and subtle hints of smoke and flint add complexity to the bouquet.

Palate: Silky and immediately fruit-forward on entry, with succulent stonefruit and citrus spreading across the mid-palate. Elegant and creamy in texture, concentrated flavours of pear, ginger and tropical fruit are balanced by fine minerality and a medium body that feels both generous and refined.

Finish: A flourish of long-lasting tropical fruit notes lingers, leaving a bone-dry impression with excellent persistence.

Pair this Pinot Gris with smoked salmon and cucumber canapés, roasted chicken with herbs, or gently spiced Asian cuisine.

Serve chilled between 8-10°C in a medium-sized white wine glass to allow the aromatic complexity to shine.

A thoughtful gift for wine enthusiasts or an excellent everyday pour for those building a versatile home cellar focused on quality New Zealand expressions.
