“A pale golden hue with aromas of pear blossom, mandarin, nashi pear, white pepper, and sea salt. The palate is complex and layered with flavours of sliced pear, lemon zest, orange sorbet, and green apple, complementing a finely textured palate with great flow and salivating acidity. This sophisticated young wine is both charming and intense. It aptly captures the ethereal nature of the Waitaki and has great ageing potential. This Pinot Gris is engaging on its own but shows real magic when paired with delicious cuisine.”
Our notes
Residual Sugar: 1 g/L (dry) = Low Sugar Wine
This is a beautifully textured but dry Pinot Gris with serious concentration and length. Terrific Pinot Gris. Scott

"Youthfully charming and elegantly fragrant, the wine shows nectarine, fresh pear, orange peel and floral aromas on the nose, followed by a succulent palate that’s fleshy and lingering. It’s wonderfully composed with lovely vibrant fruit intensity together with fine texture and bright acidity, finishing impressively long and delightfully dry. At its best: now to 2024."

Producers notes
VALLI is the personal vocation of pioneering winemaker Grant Taylor. Grant’s name is synonymous with Otago Pinot Noir. He has been crafting wines there since 1993 when there were only 20 ha planted – today there are over 2000. Grant founded VALLI in 1998 with the intention to produce single vineyard Pinot Noirs highlighting the different characteristics of Otago’s sub regions. More than 20 years later, VALLI is doing just that, producing single-vineyard pinot noirs from Gibbston, Bannockburn, and Bendigo in Central Otago and the Waitaki Valley in North Otago, as well as a dry Pinot Gris from Gibbston and a Riesling from Waitaki. In 2015, established Otago winemaker Jen Parr joined Grant in the winery where the two aim to create wines with honesty, integrity, and most of all, a sense of place. When you drink a Valli wine, you are enjoying more than just a wine: you are experiencing a place.
