Kumeu River 'Village' Pinot Gris 2023
The Kumeu River 'Village' Pinot Gris is made by Master of Wine Michael Brajkovich from sustainably grown Pinot Gris grapes that are hand-harvested from Kumeu's own vineyards. At the winery they are gently whole-bunch pressed and fermented using local wild yeast with extended maturation on the yeast lees. The aromas have typical peach and stone fruit notes tinged with the floral perfume that you can expect from well-made Pinot Gris. The wine is lively, complex and lingers on the palate. Pinot Gris is a variety that goes particularly well with food, including quite intensely flavoured dishes. It is also one of the few wine styles that can handle the spiciness of chilli.
