The 2023 Waitaki Vineyard Pinot Gris is incredibly fresh on the nose and leads with pear drop and green apple skins, white pepper and sourdough crust. In the mouth, the wine is creamy, nutty and silky; it unfurls rather than "lands" in the mouth, and the fine acidity spools through the finish. Good wine! 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2023 Pinot Gris Waitaki Vineyard is calm, collected and lightly spiced. Dry, clean and pure, its defined acidity provides line and shape, while phenolics and time on lees provide textural interest on the finish. Appealing ripe pear fruit and floral characters join savory notes that linger on the medium-length close. Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous
