Critic reviews

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – The 2023 Waitaki Vineyard Pinot Gris is incredibly fresh on the nose and leads with pear drop and green apple skins, white pepper and sourdough crust. In the mouth, the wine is creamy, nutty and silky; it unfurls rather than “lands’ in the mouth, and the fine acidity spools through the finish. Good wine1 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Waitaki is the coolest subregion in New Zealand. Partially barrel fermented (48%), the barrel component went through malolactic fermentation, and the wine matured for about six months in neutral oak.- Erin Larkin – The Wine Advocate

About this Wine

A pale golden hue with aromas of pear blossom, nashi pear, lemon, cream soda, and sea salt. The palate is complex and layered with flavours of crunchy pear, lemon zest, lime juice, and green apple; complementing a finely textured palate with great flow and salivating acidity. This sophisticated young wine is both charming and intense. It aptly captures the ethereal nature of the Waitaki and has great ageing potential.

Central Otago Wines

Central Otago is a unique wine region for New Zealand as it does not grow any of the country's famous Sauvignon Blanc but also unique globally for being the most southerly commercial wine region in the world. The region is famous for its fruity and full-bodied Pinot Noir with about ¾ of all vineyards in the region growing this grape variety. One of our favourite Pinot Noir regions here at World Wine.

Central Otago is the only region in New Zealand with a truly continental climate, with large daily and seasonal temperature extremes. At 300m in elevation, vineyards are protected from the cold ocean winds by high mountains reaching 3700m. The soils are also different to the rest of the country, with heavy deposits of rough-edged mica and other metamorphic schists in silt loams.

Historically, the subregion of Bannockburn has seen the most success. However, the region has seen significant growth in recent years and other sub regions are also flourishing.
