The 2023 Inviniti Pinot Gris is a vibrant Marlborough Pinot Gris from New Zealand, produced by Lawson's Dry Hills under its sustainably focused Inviniti label. Sourced from the Wairau Valley, the grapes were gently pressed and cool-fermented in stainless steel to preserve their bright aromatics and ripe stone fruit character. Made at a certified net carbon zero winery using 100% sustainably certified fruit, it reflects the winery's commitment to quality and environmental responsibility. The nose is fragrant with aromas of ripe pear, white peach and nectarine, complemented by notes of honeysuckle, melon and delicate floral spice.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a soft, rounded texture balanced by crisp natural acidity. Flavours of juicy peach, greengage plum and ripe melon are layered with hints of citrus zest and fresh pear, leading to a clean, refreshing finish. Bright fruit, lively freshness and gentle richness make this an easy-drinking yet expressive Pinot Gris, equally enjoyable on its own or with food.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those looking for a fresh, fruit-driven Pinot Gris with vibrant Marlborough character and exceptional value. Pair it with grilled prawns, roast chicken, spicy Asian dishes, creamy pasta or soft cheeses. Enjoy well chilled while young to appreciate its lively stone fruit flavours, refreshing acidity and smooth, balanced finish.
