Phoenix Pinot Gris 2026

Golden in colour with fresh aromas of pear, toasted almonds, jasmine and a hit of nutmeg. This multi-layered Pinot Gris is opulent yet clean, bright and juicy. The wine’s poised, savoury texture leads to a well-balanced, persistent and citrus laced finish.

Description

Reviews & Awards

Cameron Douglas MS | 93 Points | Excellent
An excellent wine with a bouquet of focus and concentration, mineral and ripe pomaceous fruits. Crisp, taut and dry with just a hint of residual sweetness, contrasting acidity and lengthy finish. Flavours of red and pink apple, pears and a touch of quince then white spice and wild flowers. As the wine opens out in glass some citrus flavours begin to emerge along with a light chalky, mealy texture. Well made with best drinking from 2026 through 2029. Excellent value.

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit | 95 Points | 5 Stars
Finely composed and elegantly expressed, the wine shows white-fleshed nectarine, Nashi pear, lemon peel, and white flower aromas on the nose. The palate is focused and flowing with fleshy texture and beautifully pitched acidity, finishing splendidly long and refined. At its best: now to 2030.

Winemaking

Lightly pressed, the juice was fermented cool, predominately in stainless steel to maximise fruit purity and distinctive varietal character. The wine was then aged on light yeast lees for six months to gain complexity and increase mouthfeel.
