"Bright with light straw colour, the nose is soft and full, with well concentrated aromas of white and yellow stone fruits along with subtle pear and honeysuckle elements. A drier style Pinot Gris with a voluptuous palate that features a softly rich melange of stone fruits, floral and minerals, with nuances of honey and flint. The flavours beautifully balanced and harmonious and follow a fine textured line with excellent acid poise."

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Lamont

It all began in 1992, in provincial New Zealand. Muldoon was PM, Headless Chickens won album of the year, and Shortland Street hit our screens for the first time. Enter seventeen-year-old Craig, hanging out with a few mates and a few beers at the port in Nelson. Having knocked off their full quota of the finest and cheapest cans of lager they could get their hands on, and in need of just one more drink, the boys entered uncharted waters, pushing the cork in on a bottle of Neudorf Chardonnay of dubious provenance. For young Craig, this was a seminal moment, a little light flickered inside, this wine stuff was pretty darn tasty.

--------THE GRAPE--------

Pinot Gris/Pinot Grigio

Pinot Gris is one of the most instantly recognised white grape varietals of the world. Known as one of the 'noble grapes' in Alsace where it is often produced as an off-dry to luscious sweet wines with a range of pear and stonefruit flavours. However, in Italy it is known as Pinot Grigio up in the Alto-Adige and Friuli regions of northern Italy.

--------THE REGION--------

Central Otago

Central Otago is one of the most southerly wine regions in the world and it is most commonly referred to as Pinot Central, in New Zealand. It has a long history of winemaking dating back to the mid 1800s and in fact a 'Burgundy' from Central Otago won a gold medal in a Sydney wine competition in 1881. A few winemakers including Alan Brady helped to craft it into a leading Pinot Noir region for the world thanks to his fruit-bombs. Many fantastic aromatic white wines excel here also.
