Pinot Gris, Marlborough, 2023/2024, Jules Taylor

This Pinot Gris explodes with an array of ripe nectarine and packham pear aromas, notes of honey and vanilla and a touch of floral orange blossom.

The dry Pinot Gris has delicious textural creaminess from the wild fermentation and exceptional fruit concentration from the small berries this season. Notes of nectarine and pears are enhanced by subtle vanilla and cinnamon spice, giving way to a long, dry, citrussy finish.

This wine is great with Thai or Vietnamese flavours – try pairing it with pork belly spring rolls or a traditional Vietnamese Pho. Alternatively try it with freshly caught scallops fried in butter with a touch of garlic and chilli.
