A Pinot Gris from New Zealand's elusive North Island, this very young wine has Granny Smith apple flavors with a slightly tart, citric finish. It paired nicely with a meal of rotisserie chicken, baguette with Brie, sautéed spinach in sesame oil, and avocado.

2015 vintage - fresh and clean example of Kiwi Pinot Gris. Nice acid with notes of apples, pears, and spice.
