The 2026 Maude Pinot Gris is an aromatic and generously textured Central Otago white, opening with ripe pear, quince and apple alongside delicate musk, rose petal and fruit-blossom notes. The palate is dry, rich and silky, with flavours of poached pear, stone fruit and gentle spice supported by subtle almond and brioche complexity. Bright natural acidity brings freshness and precision, carrying the wine to a clean, lightly mineral finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Pinot Gris for customers who enjoy fuller, more textural styles with bright fruit and savoury complexity. Central Otago’s cool climate gives the wine freshness and aromatic lift, while the partial barrel fermentation adds extra depth and mouthfeel. Best enjoyed well chilled over the next 3–5 years. Ideal with roast pork, creamy pasta dishes, grilled seafood or mushroom risotto.
