The Nevis Bluff Pinot Gris has proven to be an outstanding example from the inaugural 1998 vintage which won a Gold Medal and the supreme trophy at the 1999 Royal Easter Show.
Created in a dry and textured style, our Pinot Gris has a rich mouth feel and shows great persistence and depth.
Lime, pepper, mango and pawpaw aromatics are followed by a wet stone mineral drive showing lychee and spicy textural qualities. Good persistence, elegance and balance on the finish.

93 Points. Richly fruited and gorgeously complex, the bouquet shows golden peach, baked pear, fragrant spice and subtle honey notes, leading to a succulent palate that's plump and fleshy. It's generous and flavoursome with subtle sweetness, finishing long and very appealing. At its best: now to 2022.
