PINOT GRIS
MARLBOROUGH | NEW ZEALAND
A beautifully expressed Pinot Gris from Marlborough, the fragrant bouquet shows white stone fruit, fresh pear, floral and subtle spicy characters. Marlborough is one of New Zealand’s sunniest and driest places, ideal for Pinot Gris, with long growing seasons leading to wines with high acidity, fruit driven flavours and intense varietal characters.

SWEET BRO
"Sweet green pears and apple flesh, a soft leesy autolysis, moments of white spice and white peach. On the palate - just dry with a core of fruit and satin cream texture"
