| Tasting Notes |
This is an absolutely unique wine and very different to most Pinot Gris in New Zealand. It’s a serious attempt to express the exciting potential of aromatic varieties in this region.
This is a wine that will benefit with a few years ageing, but already shows subtle aromas of Golden Delicious apples, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. The yellow fruit flavours and spicy aromas follow through on the palate and linger for ages.
Although it’s been fermented dry, it has a luscious creamy “mouth-feel” that belies its residual sugar-level.

| Winemakers Notes |
|
The fruit was whole-bunch pressed over 8 hours with part of this blend barrel fermented with “wild yeast” and the balance fermented in stainless steel with a specially imported yeast strain from Alsace. |
| Viticulture Notes |
|
Our tiny Pinot Gris vineyard is intentionally cropped at ridiculously low levels, and outperforms our expectations year after year. |

| TiZwine Accolades |
 |
| Elegant aromas of lime and citrus give way to green and stalky flavours married to a strong acidity. The finish is clean and distinctly dry. |
