The Maori Point Pinot Gris 2009 is a richly flavoured wine, crisp, dry, and minerally with an aroma of fresh pears, and on the palate stone fruits and hints of spice, showing good freshness, vigour and length. The wine is a dry style with a good mouth-feel. Drink now, or cellar through 2014! A great deal at 54% off the RRP!
Sam Kim of Wine Orbit describes the Maori Point Pinot Gris 2009: "Very pale straw-green in colour, quite youthful in appearance, this has a full, voluminous nose with shy white stonefruit and mineral aromas, and a touch of flint. Dry to taste and full-bodied. A solid, tight wine with good weight and textured presence..."
Halfway between Cromwell and Wanaka, on the bank of the Clutha river at Tarras, Maori Point is surrounded by mountains, snow-covered in winter. The area is usually cloud-free and dry. The southern boundary is sheltered by pine trees but the nor-west wind can funnel round between the mountain ranges and sweep across the vineyard. Perfect conditions for aromatic whites and Pinot Noir.
