Matawhero Pinot Gris 2023

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Lifted, floral, focused and varietal bouquet with scents of fresh green pear and a mix of apple, a layer of white pepper spiced quince, a lick of ginger and crumbled clay-like earth qualities signal a wine with youthful and freshness. Crisp, dry and taut on the palate with flavours that mirror the bouquet - apple then pear, spice then mineral. On the finish is a fine lees quality adding breadth and complexity. A young wine that needs time to settle in and develop its personality."

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "It's elegant and charming with white flesh stone fruit, green pear, lemon peel and subtle spice aromas, leading to a finely flowing palate that's ripe and rounded. Well composed and expressed with a lingering juicy finish."

The winery writes "This delightful Pinot Gris is a full bodied wine with spice, pear, fig and honeysuckle notes. The wine is soft and voluptuous and finishes dry."
