Lower ABV Marlborough Pinot Gris really ought to be a “thing,” but gets pushed aside by more commercially successful Sauvignon. As this easygoing example shows, Pinot Gris deserves more attention! Pretty crisp pear and sliced apple fruit gets a bit of citrusy lift and complexity from a hint of varietal spice. There’s enough texture to stand up to sausages and poultry, and enough fruit and freshness for solo sipping. Understated but compelling at just 12.5% alcohol.

For You If:    You like the flavors of Pinot Gris and want something less assertively acidic than Pinot Grigio and more dry and less dense than Alsace Pinot Gris; you’re having a salad with toasted walnuts and a sprinkle of blue cheese.

Not For You If:   You’re looking for a wine that shouts, “look at me!” – this is more restrained and gentle if certainly not lacking in flavor and interest.

James Suckling: 92 Points

"A delicious dry pinot gris with sliced green apple and crushed stone. Some white pepper. Medium body. Crisp and fresh, yet lightly oily. Sustainable."
