Matawhero Single Vineyard Pinot Gris is an exceptional wine from Matawhero Vineyard, located in the Gisborne region of New Zealand.
The grapes for this wine are cultivated at the Briant vineyard. The silt deposits over a clay base create ideal growing conditions for Pinot Gris. This wine is made from the new ENTAV-INRA clone 457, which produces small bunches and berries, enhancing the wine’s flavour. The limited crop yield allows the vines to ripen the fruit more easily.
Appearance: A pale straw-yellow colour with a slight golden hue. The wine is clear and bright, indicating its good health and clarity.
Aroma: Fragrant and inviting, offering a bouquet of aromas that includes ripe pear, apple, and stone fruit notes like peach and apricot. There are also hints of floral undertones, reminiscent of jasmine and honeysuckle, along with a subtle spice element that adds complexity. A touch of minerality, characteristic of the region’s soils, enhances the aromatic profile.
Palate: Medium-bodied, with refreshing acidity that balances its rich fruit flavours. The primary fruit notes from the nose follow through on the palate, with luscious pear and peach dominating, complemented by citrus elements such as lemon zest and a hint of tropical fruit, like pineapple. The wine has a smooth, creamy mouthfeel, thanks to a portion of it being fermented in oak, which adds texture and complexity.
Finish: Long and satisfying, with lingering flavours of ripe fruit and a touch of minerality. The wine’s acidity provides a crispness that invites another sip, making it a versatile choice for food pairing or enjoyable on its own.
Matawhero Pinot Gris 2022 pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. Its bright acidity and fruit-forward profile complement seafood, particularly grilled fish or prawns. It also works well with chicken dishes, especially those featuring creamy sauces. Additionally, it can be enjoyed alongside Asian cuisine, such as sushi or Thai dishes, where its aromatic qualities enhance the flavours.
Overall, Matawhero Single Vineyard Pinot Gris 2022 is a well-crafted wine that showcases the best of Gisborne’s terroir. Its balance of fruit, acidity, and complexity makes it appealing to both Pinot Gris enthusiasts and those new to the varietal. Whether enjoyed at a casual gathering or a formal dinner, this wine is sure to impress.
