Lake Road Reserve Pinot Gris Gisborne 2024
Delighting with ripe nashi pear, mandarin and stone fruit, this pinot gris offers a floral overtone and a palate of juicy fruit flavours with a beautifully rounded mouthfeel, finishing smooth and refreshing.
"Attractively ripe and inviting, the bouquet shows Asian pear, rockmelon, apricot and subtle spice aromas. The palate delivers juicy fruit flavours with supple texture and bright acidity, finishing succulent and smooth."

2022 Vintage - "A generous, fruity expression with a sense of place and style. Aromas and flavours of green pear and spice, golden apple and quince, there’s a leesy seam that suggests a whisper of ginger and wild honey. Lovely weight with a satin texture, medium acid line and perfect level of alcohol. A dry-ish finish with a lemon, floral, and lees quality. Best drinking from 2024 through 2027." - Cameron Douglas
