New Pinot Gris from Lake Road Wines in Gisborne. First started in 1975 by the Blampied family, they initially grew grapes for Corbans, before breaking away on their own in 2008 using contract winemakers. Kōpū Collection.

Grapes for this wine were grown in the Ngatapa Valley region of  Gisborne district where dry-farming practices have been employed for over 75 years. Post-harvest the grapes and juice were processed with care to maximise fruit flavour and intensity.

The resulting wine has lovely floral aromatics on the nose, while the palate is showing peach, fresh pear, apple blossom and subtle spice.

Ideal food pairings include fresh salad and vegetable dishes, white meats and Asian cuisine.
