Jane Staples rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A delicious and food friendly Pinot Gris made from sustainably farmed grapes. Gives ripe pear, apple, spice and nutty notes in a satiny mouthfeel. Enjoy with seafood stew, steamed lobster, falafels or grille dpork chops.

Craig Haynes rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

The look and feel of this pinot gris from New Zealand's renowned Marlborough region is elegant and inviting. Balanced and food friendly, but can be enjoyed on its own. Prepare to be enchanted by crisp stone fruits - notably nectarine and peach - along with some subtle grassy and sea stone notes.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
