The 2023 Greywacke Pinot Gris is a richly textured Marlborough Pinot Gris from New Zealand, crafted by renowned winemaker Kevin Judd. Harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented to retain the variety's generous fruit profile, it delivers an opulent yet beautifully balanced style. The nose is expressive with aromas of ripe pear, quince and white peach, complemented by notes of honeysuckle, nutmeg, white pepper and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a smooth, creamy texture balanced by refreshing acidity. Flavours of melon, nectarine and citrus are layered with hints of honey, sourdough, crushed shells and gentle phenolic spice, leading to a long, generous and savoury finish. Its off-dry style is balanced by vibrant freshness, making it both approachable and highly versatile at the table.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those seeking a rich, textural Pinot Gris with depth and elegance. Pair it with roast pork, spicy Asian cuisine, creamy mushroom dishes or soft washed-rind cheeses. Enjoy now for its vibrant fruit and complexity, or cellar for 5–8 years to develop additional honeyed and savoury nuances.
