Waimea

New Zealand Pinot Gris really is an undiscovered gem. Its incredibly aromaticbut refreshing too. Waimea is on the edge of the Tasman Seaa place regularly credited with being New Zealands sunniest spot. Its the perfect place to grow Pinot Gris. Sheltered. Coastal. Sunny. The winemaker use specially selected yeasts which draw out the aromatics of the grape. They play it up by ageing the wine on its leesspent yeast particlesto give more texture and flavour. Think lemon curd, pear drops, lavender and white peaches. Its got a lovely lush, creamy, silky texture with hints of exotic spice. Youll find it hard not to reach for a second glass. Theres nothing better to eat alongside it than seared salmon with nam phrik num dressing.
