Aged on its yeast lees (what’s left over once the yeast finishes fermenting), this Wairarapa-grown gris is deliciously dry, lean, clean and shows an edge of apple skin, nashi juice and white pepper. There’s a splash of citrus on the finish and it’s got some good persistence on the palate. Grown organically and clearly there’s love shown in the winery, it’s a crisp, snappy white to help you womp through the winter months.
