Made entirely from hand-harvested, sustainably grown Pinot Gris grapes, the 2023 Village Pinot Gris represents the sole expression of this variety for the vintage. With all Estate-level fruit incorporated into this cuvée, it reflects exceptional vineyard quality paired with the thoughtful winemaking that defines Kumeu River.
Fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured on lees for added depth, this vintage is marked by its purity and finesse. Aromas of lemon zest and quince lead to a crisp, vibrant palate with a beautifully clean finish and a subtle, refreshing lick of tannin. At a moderate 12% alcohol, it offers clarity, balance, and drinkability.
Perfect as a bright and expressive aperitif, this Pinot Gris also shines alongside seafood, charcuterie, and light, flavourful fare.
