Wine Details

This Pinot Gris is distinct.

A wine that exudes elegance, Home Block Moutere Pinot Gris is a deeply serious example of this widely loved aromatic.

Papaya, jasmine, rolled oats and white pepper with a very subtle hint of beurre noisette.

Charmingly rotund, yet with a whip of acidity at the end to lift the wine into a new dimension.

A blend of tank and amphora fermentation vessels along with partial skin contact adds beautiful weight and concentration.

A modern, out of the ordinary and sophisticated example of Gris.

Vineyard

Site: Home Block - Upper Moutere, Nelson

Aspect: 60m Elveation, North Facing

Soil Type: Moutere Clay Gravels

Soil Composition: Clay Loam, with small pebbles in upper horizon.

Vineyard Established: 1978

Variety: 100% Pinot Gris

Clonal Selection: 2/15, 7A, 457, Mission

Seasonal Detail: A dry start to the season followed by a wetter than normal November. A welcome change to early summer and autumn where we experienced drier and warmer months (December – April). Minor rain events ensured canopies stayed “refreshed” before a trouble-free harvest period. A generous season producing wines of volume and precision.

"The winemaker has really nailed the sweet/sour balance which is deliciously refreshing and dry without being excessively acidic. Pear, quince and oyster shell flavours."
