It's difficult for me to get excited about much of the Pinot Gris emerging from New Zealand, but this organic example grown 30 minutes' drive inland from Rod McDonald's coastal base is a rare beauty. It is both mouthfilling and delicate, with delicious purity of fruit and pretty white floral notes that have been allowed to shine through slow tank fermentation. Seamless and very fine.
