Crafted in the heart of Wairarapa, the 2024 vintage of Paddy Borthwick Pinot Gris showcases the winemaker’s commitment to minimal intervention and expressive fruit. Hand-picked grapes are gently pressed and fermented at cool temperatures to preserve aromatics and texture. A small portion undergoes lees ageing to build richness and mouthfeel, delivering a layered and harmonious style.
Bouquet Enticing aromas of white pear, apple blossom and stone fruit, with hints of honeysuckle and fresh citrus.
Palate Bright and balanced. A juicy core of nashi pear, baked apple and nectarine is layered over a soft, textural palate with a fine mineral thread and a dry, elegant finish.
Food Pairing Pairs beautifully with Vietnamese pork salad, creamy mushroom risotto, or grilled chicken with thyme. Also excellent with soft cheeses or a pear and walnut tart.
Cellaring Drink now for vibrant fruit or cellar up to 2027 for added complexity and depth.
