Crowded House Pinot Gris

Crowded House Pinot Gris embodies the exquisite essence of New Zealand's renowned wine country, Marlborough. This vibrant wine captures the unique characteristics that make Pinot Gris from this region truly exceptional. Its pale straw color, complemented by a delicate blush, invites you to explore the aromatic bouquet that unfolds with each sip. A captivating nose greets you, filled with the enchanting scents of honeysuckle, ripe pear, lychee, and zesty orange rind.

The palate is a delightful continuation of this aromatic journey, featuring layers of succulent quince and white stone fruits. Subtle musk hints intertwine with the complex spice and beeswax notes, delivering a symphony of flavors that dance across the taste buds. Each sip reveals a gentle textural richness, while remaining refreshingly dry and impressively long on the finish.

Vinification techniques are part of what sets this wine apart. The fruit is carefully machine-harvested, pressed, and cold settled, before undergoing a cool fermentation in stainless steel vessels. With a thoughtful blend of yeast strains, the wine captures both aromatic and textural elements seamlessly. Twenty percent of this vintage is aged in seasoned French oak puncheons, allowing for a greater depth of flavor that shines in the final blend.

Crowded House Pinot Gris is versatile, perfect for enjoying on its own or pairing beautifully with a variety of dishes. It complements Asian cuisine, charcuterie platters, and white poultry dishes, making it a splendid choice for gatherings with friends or quiet evenings at home. With a harmonious balance of aromas and a captivating palate, this wine is destined to elevate any occasion. Enjoy the taste of New Zealand in each glass.
