Te Kairanga Estate Pinot Gris 2025

Tasting Notes

From one of Martinborough's founding estates — vines planted in 1984 — this Pinot Gris captures the generous, sun-warmed character of the Martinborough Terrace. Ripe pear, peach and honey open with an inviting softness, while light spice notes add intrigue. The palate is textured and generous, ripe fruit balanced by good acidity, and a lingering finish that rewards each sip. Martinborough's continental climate, with warm days and cool nights, is tailor-made for Pinot Gris of this character.
