Nose: Fresh pear and green apple aromas lead, accompanied by subtle honeysuckle and a hint of citrus zest that adds brightness to the bouquet.

Palate: Medium-bodied with ripe stone fruit flavours, the wine shows good texture and balanced acidity that keeps the palate refreshed. Notes of nashi pear and white peach provide depth without heaviness.

Finish: Clean and persistent, with lingering fruit characters and a crisp, dry conclusion that invites another sip.

Pair this Pinot Gris with pan-fried fish, chicken Caesar salad, or creamy pasta dishes featuring mushrooms or seafood.

Serve chilled between 8-10°C in a standard white wine glass to appreciate the aromatic profile and fruit-forward character.

Well-suited for midweek meals, casual entertaining, or anyone seeking reliable quality from a proven Central Otago producer without the premium price tag.
