Two Rivers Phoenix Pinot Gris 2024

The 2024 Two Rivers Phoenix Pinot Gris is crafted from hand-picked fruit grown across Marlborough’s Southern Valleys and Wairau Plains. Fermented in a mix of stainless steel and seasoned French oak barrels, with extended lees contact, this vintage gains richness and complexity while retaining purity and freshness. A portion of the fruit undergoes whole bunch pressing to enhance aromatics and structure.

Bouquet
Lifted and expressive with aromas of pear, quince, white blossom, and a hint of spice. There’s a subtle underlying creaminess that hints at the wine’s textural finesse.

Palate
Silky and textural with a dry finish, this Pinot Gris offers flavours of baked pear, golden apple, and soft citrus, layered with hints of ginger and almond meal. A gentle weight and fine acidity make it both mouth-filling and refreshingly clean.

Food Pairing
Versatile and food-friendly, this wine pairs beautifully with Vietnamese rice paper rolls, grilled pork belly, or creamy mushroom pasta. A great choice for entertaining or enjoying with lighter fare.

Cellaring
Drink now for freshness or cellar for up to 4 years to enhance its textural depth and complexity.

Interesting Fact
The name ‘Phoenix’ refers to the rebirth of the land from which this wine comes—once a riverbed, now revitalised vineyard blocks producing characterful, terroir-driven wines.
