The 2023 Saint Clair Origin Pinot Gris is a rich and expressive Marlborough white wine, crafted from selected vineyards across the Wairau and Southern Valleys, showcasing a fuller, off-dry style with texture and ароматic depth. The nose is inviting and layered, with notes of poached pear, apple and stone fruit, complemented by hints of vanilla, cinnamon spice and warm pastry.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a smooth, rounded mouthfeel and fresh acidity. Ripe orchard fruit, spiced pear and subtle mineral notes are balanced by a gentle sweetness, leading to a long, soft and lingering finish. The style is generous yet balanced, offering both richness and freshness in a highly approachable format.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for customers who enjoy slightly richer whites with a touch of sweetness and texture. It’s easy to drink and very food-friendly. Best enjoyed now or over the next 2–3 years. Perfect with roast chicken, pork dishes, Asian cuisine or lightly spiced meals.
