Lawson's Dry Hills Estate Pinot Gris 2023

Lawson’s Dry Hills has built a reputation for expressive, aromatic whites—and this 2023 Estate Pinot Gris is no exception. Sourced from mature vines in the Wairau and Waihopai Valleys, the fruit was hand-picked and cool fermented in stainless steel, with a portion aged on fine lees to add texture and depth. The wine is made in a beautifully balanced, off-dry style that captures both fruit vibrancy and palate richness.

Bouquet

Fragrant and lively, the nose reveals juicy pear, white peach, and baked apple, with floral notes of honeysuckle and a touch of cinnamon spice. A whisper of citrus zest adds freshness and lift.

Palate

Rounded and textural, with ripe stone fruit and pear leading into a soft, creamy mid-palate. A gentle off-dry finish is framed by well-integrated acidity and subtle spice. Polished, approachable, and easy to love—this is Pinot Gris with charm and consistency.

Food Pairing

Lovely with Thai green curry, chicken with apricot glaze, or a rocket and pear salad with blue cheese. Also pairs well with sushi, creamy pastas, or soft cheeses.
