Mount Difficulty Roaring Meg Pinot Gris 2024

Mount Difficulty "Roaring Meg" Pinot Gris, Central Otago, New Zealand, 2024

Grape: 100% Pinot Gris, unoaked

Producer Tasting Note:

This wine has aromatics reminiscent of a fruit cocktail full of stone fruit, melon and green mango. These characteristics are richly replicated on the palate, with a full textured mid palate and an off-dry finish. Hand selected grapes from the unique Central Otago vineyards define this Pinot Gris by enhancing its attractive aromatic qualities, highlighting delicious stone fruit and pear flavours with an underlying hint of spice.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"Another classic expression from the Roaring Meg vintners with aromas and flavours of white nectarine and pear flesh. A satin smooth mouthfeel with contrasting acid line, fleshy texture with flavours of pomaceous fruits, apple and pear, a lick of white spice and even flowing finish. Best from day of purchase through 2027."
