I've been impressed in recent times by the pinot noir, sauvignon blanc, and rose from this winery, and NZ is one of my go-to sources of pinot gris, so I was looking forward to trying this one. In the end, however, I was a bit disappointed. The aromatics are fine as far as they go, but I found it to be lacking on the palate... to sum it up in a word, austere. I like my gris on the lusher side, and if it has some tropical notes, so much the better. This one missed the mark for me. Tasted February 2026.
