About this product
Dry River's benchmark Pinot Gris: arguably New Zealand's finest, this Martinborough Terrace Pinot Gris is whole-bunch pressed with skin contact, aged in old oak. White peach, ginger, honey, and mineral gravel complexity — more Alsatian grand cru in ambition than the typical fresh New Zealand style. Exceptional and rare.
