Cable Bay Awatere Valley Pinot Gris
- Pinot Gris
- New Zealand, 750ml
Made from 25-year-old vines, the aroma of summer jumps from the glass on first inspection; fresh Pacific Rose apples and white flowers are supported by notes of rock melon, manuka honey and wet river stone. On harvest day the skins are macerated in the juice to impart a grapefruit pithy bite to drive focus to the back palate, this combined with good acid drive mimics biting into a crunchy apple.
