Description
In a nutshell:
Ripe stone fruits and a hint of soft spice give this Kiwi Pinot Gris its quiet charm.
The lowdown:
While this a dry style of Pinot Gris it's not austerely so and it offers aromas of fresh pear, white peach, and a touch of spice. There's a pleasing weight to it, balanced by a tangy, refreshing acidity, with a subtle note of brioche lingering underneath. Made from fruit grown in their carefully tended Home Block vineyard. The finish is mouthwatering and satisfying, making it a well-rounded wine that's both refined and effortlessly enjoyable.
The Producer:
Established in 2005 by Fiona Turner and her husband Hamish, Tinpot Hut is named after an old mustering hut, a nod to the area's sheep farming past. Nestled in the Blind River sub-region of Marlborough's Awatere Valley, their 20-hectare vineyard produces a range of expressive wines. While their Sauvignon Blanc takes centre stage - as you might expect from these parts - Fiona, with the expertise of her winemaking friend Matt Thompson, has also shown that varieties like Pinot Gris, Grüner Veltliner, and Riesling can thrive here too. It's all about quality, with just a hint of a pioneering streak.
When to drink:
A versatile choice, this pairs very nicely with salads, sushi, Asian-inspired dishes, or a bit of white meat like poultry or pork.
Suitable for Vegetarians
