DOUBLE GOLD, Global Fine Wine Challenge 2023

92 points, Cameron Douglas MS
Plush and ripe fruited bouquet with pears and yellow apples, some quince and citrus then spice and yellow flowers. Crisp and dry on the palate with flavours that mirror the bouquet, a nice tautness and mealy mouthfeel, medium+ acid line and balanced finish. Best drinking from 2023 through 2026. 22 DEC 2022

This textural Pinot Gris is packed with orchard fruit, spice with floral adorned a refreshing palate. Match with pulled pork tacos and chicken terrine over the next 3-4 years. Dec 2022

Excellent, Mark Henderson, Otago Daily Times
Florality to the nose, hints of potpourri, pear & stonefruit, deceptively powerful. Good weight and energy continuing the theme of the nose adding hints of cooked apple and a biscuity nuance. Grows with time, showing an attractive chewiness and an engaging sweet ‘n’ sour element to the close which also grows over time. Nicely done. 8 Feb 2023

Overall, a warm and settled growing season, with little to no high winds, no major frost events and very good soil moisture leading into late 2021. Weekly rain events throughout November took the vines into premium conditions for canopy growth. Flowering conditions were perfect, with warm dry weather over this crucial period. In turn, the fruit was very even in ripeness within the bunches. Autumn was settled and warm, and harvest was very busy and fast-paced. A stellar vintage with very high-quality fruit and fantastic crop loads, which were easily ripened by our lush, large canopies.
