Reviews and Ratings

Cherie Cole rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Honeydew melon, passion fruit with mineral notes present themselves on the nose. Excellent body with long, tropical fruit finish.
Colin McKone - Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Crisp and mouth watering with mellon, lemon and floral aromas with lemon and a hint of white pepper on the palate. It is light bodied with a medium finish. It will go great with seafood or a fresh green salad.
Nicole Lewis rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Lemony fresh goodness, honeysuckle with a soupcon of grassy notes herald lemon and grapefruit in the mouth on this medium-bodied, high acidity, spirited Pinot Gris. From the nose the level of acidity is surprising.

I would pair this with Cobb salad or West Indian pigeon peas and rice, to cite a few examples.
A terrific, zesty New Zealand white wine to pair with fresh seafood and shellfish.- Community Wine Reviews

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.
