Selaks Res Pinot Gris 750ml

Selaks Res Pinot Gris offers juicy flavours of nashi pear, green apple and melon on the palate, supported by bright, refreshing acidity. The nose delivers lifted aromas of ripe pear and apple, accented by delicate rosewater and a subtle hint of spice. The finish is soft and well-rounded, with lingering orchard fruit notes and gentle honeyed sweetness.

This wine is from Hawke's Bay on New Zealand's North Island, a region renowned for its free-draining volcanic soils and warm, sunny climate. These conditions create an ideal environment for Pinot Gris, allowing the grapes to develop complexity, finesse and generous fruit character. Selaks Origins wines are specifically crafted to showcase the distinctive terroir of their growing regions.

This Pinot Gris pairs beautifully with Thai chicken salad, pan-seared scallops, or creamy goat's cheese. The wine's bright acidity and fruit-forward profile also complement Asian cuisine, seafood dishes and light poultry preparations. Its refreshing character makes it versatile enough for a wide range of lighter fare and summer dishes.

Selaks Res Pinot Gris complements dishes with delicate flavours and moderate richness, such as grilled fish, prawn pasta, or roasted chicken with herbs. The wine's crisp acidity cuts through creamy sauces while its ripe fruit flavours enhance lighter proteins and fresh vegetables. It also works well with fresh salads featuring pear, apple or nuts.

Serve Selaks Res Pinot Gris well chilled at 8-10°C to preserve its vibrant fruit character and refreshing acidity. Use a standard white wine glass to allow the aromatic complexity to develop fully. This wine does not require decanting and is best enjoyed young to capture its fresh, juicy character.
