Quartz Reef Central Otago Pinot Gris 375ml 2022

From certified biodynamic vines in Bendigo, Central Otago, this small-format Pinot Gris was made by Rudi Bauer using wild ferment and extended lees ageing for 10 months. The result is a savoury and structured expression of the region’s schist-laden soils.

Bouquet
Freshly baked brioche, dried herbs and soft florals mingle with nutmeg and a flicker of flint, creating a refined and savoury nose.

Palate
Dry and mineral-driven, the palate is layered with baked apple, white pepper and subtle creamy notes from the lees. Fine acidity carries the finish with poise and precision.

Food Pairing
Excellent with kūmara fritters and herbed crème fraîche, or try it alongside smoked eel pâté on rye toast. Middle Eastern lamb kofta and grilled halloumi also shine beside its savoury style.

Size: 375ml
