"Elegant and delightfully appealing, the wine shows Asian pear, crunchy apple, subtle spice and floral aromas on the nose, followed by a beautifully weighted palate delivering succulent fruit flavours with supple texture, offering terrific drinking" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Honeyed citrus, stone-fruit and floral characters play the opening act to this dry, textural Pinot Gris. A lovely lift of acidity buoys the bombastic peaches-and cream-flavors and rich texture, making this a crowd-pleasing Pinot Gris for drinking now" Wine Enthusiast

This Mystery 2022 Pinot Gris displays a flavour packed palate of delicious fresh pears, citrus, peach and a hint of spicy Awatere minerality. The wine shows beautiful fruit intensity with silky texture and refreshing acidity, leading to a lingering smooth finish.

The fruit was crushed and following settling the clear juice was racked to stainless steel and fermented using selected yeast at cool temperatures. A 10% portion of the juice was fermented in seasoned French oak barrels adding weight, texture and complexity to the finished wine. Fermentation was stopped at 5.0 g/l residual sugar. Before blending, the individual components were left on light yeast lees for three months to build additional texture and creaminess to the palate.
