Omaka Springs Pinot Gris 2010 NZD $17.95
Lovely pure fruit flavours with focused fresh pear, floral and white peach. There's a suggestion of sweetness to begin with but the wine finishes fairly dry. A silken texture impresses. -
Whitehaven Marlborough Pinot Gris 2008
NZD $18.95
Double Gold Pinot Gris
This wine is made by Simon Waghorn, perhaps better known as winemaker for Astrolabe, and he has again come up trumps with one of the best-rated pinot gris from the 2008 vintage. This is a full-flavoured, off-dry style that is elegant and flavoursome. Normal retail is around $25 so this is a top buy.

Perfect to compliment any seafood or white meat dish. This wine has sufficient body to accompany roast chicken or pork.

Paul Tudor says...
“Finally, there is a new hope for Pinot Gris in this country, and it is called Kairos. Finally, somebody has made a Pinot Gris that boldly goes in a new direction. Finally, someone has crafted a food friendly, stylish and potentially age-worthy wine from this awkward variety. Without question, this is the finest Pinot Gris ever made in this country ” Paul Tudor MW
Joelle Thomson, the Dominion Post says...
