New Zealand’s most sustainably certified wine producer

The Pioneer Pinot Gris 2024

This single vineyard wine is mid-straw in colour with a slight copper tone. Off-dry in style with lifted aromas of juicy pears, red apples and stonefruit. The palate is weighty and textural with flavours of pears, apple crumble and clover honey – a complex wine that is drinking perfectly after three years in bottle.

Vineyards and viticulture

Winemaking

The winemaking here was minimalist. The grapes were hand-picked and gently pressed into old French oak barriques for a long and slow fermentation (over six months) with wild yeasts from the vineyard. Once we felt the wine had achieved the perfect balance of sweetness and adicity, the barrels were racked and the wine chilled, filtered and bottled.

Food Pairing

A delicious pairing with seafood, poultry, pasta and slightly spicy dishes.
