The Greywacke Marlborough Pinot Gris is an opulent delight from New Zealand’s acclaimed wine region. Emanating a sophisticated blend of honeydew and white peaches in its bouquet, it unveils complex notes of butterscotch and spiced pears on the palate. This well-structured wine integrates refreshing acidity with a hint of sweetness, offering an amiable balance. Alluring richness meets a mineral finish, a testament to the Marlborough terroir. With subtle oak nuances and carefully managed ripeness, this Pinot Gris by Greywacke is a sublime example of winemaking finesse and meticulous fruit selection. Great as an aperitif or with delicately flavoured dishes.
