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.

"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."
