The Pinot Gris block sits atop the Tūpari cliffs, protected from the strong wins by a small woodland. The trees create a microclimate by enhancing the effects of the warm days and cool nights. It is the large daily temperature flunctuations that are favourable to long and slow ripening, intensifying the varietal flavour characteristics.
It is a single vineyard wine, the 2015 Tupari Pinot Gris is dry, richly flavoured and mouthfilling. Distinguishing ripe pear and ginger notes, a luscious texture and a long elegant finish make this a must try wine.
