Te Whare Ra Pinot Gris 2023

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Pure fruited bouquet of gentle curves, ripeness, freshness and distinctiveness with scents of spice and white fleshed fruits, a light almost flinty mineral quality, shape and form. Fantastic on the palate led by texture first with a vibrant acid line accentuated by spice, then flavours of quince and lemon, white nectarine and pear skin. Lengthy, saline and delicious, a wine to enjoy from day of purchase through 2028+."

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Purity with stunning clarity, the wine shows nectarine, Asian Pear and white floral notes with a hint of oatmeal complexity. The palate offers outstanding focus and finesse as well as impressive concentration and persistence. Wonderfully framed by refined texture and juicy acidity, leading to a sustained, elegant finish."

The winery writes "This wine is finely structured with great purity & length of flavour and a lovely fleshiness. Lifted aromas of nashi pear, honeysuckle, red apple and white florals follow on to flavours of the same along with savoury undertones which are balanced by fine, supple texture and lingering minerality. This release is a dry style which has concentration, balance and great texture with layers of flavour."
