Variety: Pinot Gris

Region: Hawkes Bay

Tasting Notes: Lime & Cumquat
It is wonderfully floral and expressive. It opens with pear and honey aromas and a hint of quince paste. The palate is light and crisp with lime and cumquat flavours along with a tinge of cinnamon.

Background Information: Wow this will be popular over summer. It is light and crisp and ever so quaffable. For over a year we have been looking for a mate to partner the Kiwi Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and finally we have done it. Many Kiwi Pinot Gris are fat and over the top, but not this one. It offers up the pear and honey like the others without the over the top fat characters.
