Pinot Blanc 2023

Pinot Blanc 2023A beautiful aromatic, similar but deliciously different from the grape's close cousin Pinot Gris. It's our golden child: The latest version just brought home gold medals from the New Zealand international Wine Show and the Aotearoa Regional Wine Competition, proudly following on from trophy wins in 2019 and 2020.

Entitled "Sunset at Mapua Wharf"

ripe stonefruit and a subtle hint of spice

We couldn’t be prouder of our own ‘grand cru’ from an extraordinary growing season

Our first and only dessert wine is named after our son Thomas

The painting was commissioned to celebrate the vibrant beauty of the Nelson region

Good work Thomas

classy and immensely satisfying

and grapefruit all balanced to a fine richness that lasts on the palate

A glowing sunset and a glass of Shangri-La Pinot Noir at the seaside village of Mapua - the perfect end to a busy day

The eight months in barrel have only enhanced the fruity punch of pineapple

A wonderfully accessible example of a variety that is rare in New Zealand

where the area of origin is immensely important
