#1 PINOT GRIS & FIVE STARS | Cuisine Magazine
GOLD MEDAL | Marlborough Wine Show 2023
90/100 | Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review
4.5 STARS | Michael Cooper
A #1 rating from Cuisine Magazine plus a gold medal speaks volumes on the sheer gorgeousness on offer here. The 2023 displays all the classic qualities of top-notch Marlborough Pinot Gris we all know and love - pale lemon in colour with flavours of crushed pear, stonefruits and lemon zest plus a touch of residual sugar to add a luxe element to the conversation.
They've packed plenty of mouthfilling and vibrant acidity into this wine balanced by a dry, long finish. The highly aromatic nature of this wine makes it super food friendly - pair with lightly spiced Asian influenced cuisine and thank us later.
Translating to 'smoky river' in Maori, Opawa Wine have mastered the art of packing flavour in the glass and the 2023 pinot gris seals the deal. The stony vineyard soils from the Opawa River are at the helm of the delicious aromas and flavours that this gris offers.
Opawa Pinot Gris 2023 offers unmissable value at just $18.99 on case buys. A deadset winner for sure.

Cuisine Magazine writes "It is high toned and fresh yet complex and rounded on the nose with aromas of citrus pith, ripe pear, nectarines and spice. The palate is generous and moreish with fleshy pear and perfectly balanced acid and residual sugar. It’s fresh and bright with a creamy texture that adds weight and length."
Michael Cooper writes "Grown in the Wairau and Awatere Valleys, this is an ideal, all-purpose wine. Tank-fermented and briefly lees-aged, it is attractively scented, mouthfilling and vibrantly fruity, with good intensity of peach, pear and spice flavours, balanced acidity and a finely balanced, dryish, lingering finish."
