Rapaura Springs Reserve Pinot Gris 2024

The 2024 Reserve Pinot Gris is a refined expression from Rapaura Springs, crafted from premium fruit grown in Marlborough’s Wairau Valley. Cool fermentation in stainless steel retains vibrant aromatics, while a portion sees time on lees to build texture and roundness. This is a Pinot Gris that balances purity and generosity, delivering both freshness and mouthfeel.

Bouquet

Bright and inviting, the nose opens with nashi pear, baked apple, and honeysuckle, layered with hints of nutmeg, citrus blossom, and a subtle wet stone minerality. Clean, lifted, and elegantly perfumed.

Palate

Medium-bodied and beautifully poised, the palate delivers ripe pear, golden peach, and citrus oil, with a silky texture and finely tuned acidity. Subtle spice and a touch of almond round out the finish, which is long, dry, and effortlessly balanced. A wine that brings both freshness and finesse.

Food Pairing

Pair with Vietnamese summer rolls, roast chicken with fennel and lemon, or a creamy leek and parmesan risotto. A go-to for food pairing versatility—from light lunches to richer, spiced dishes.

Cellaring

Enjoy now for its vibrant fruit and freshness, or cellar for up to 3 years to develop subtle nutty and honeyed complexity while retaining its graceful frame.
