Brilliant, pale straw colour. A very fresh nose with floral and stonefruit notes. The palate is full, with a clean fruit character and soft acidity. With plenty of depth, it finishes off dry and long. The Gold River Pinot Gris is a fresh, full and textural style, with vibrantly clear Central Otago fruit.

Grown in 3 vineyards within the Bendigo sub-region of Central Otago.

2020 was a cool Central Otago growing season marked by low crop levels, and crisp, pure fruit. Budburst, flowering and harvest were 7-14 days later than average, with very small berries and bunches. Fruit was harvested in mid-April, with intense vibrant flavours.

Fruit came into the winery in an excellent state. It was hand-picked and whole bunch pressed to preserve purity; then cool fermented. Fermentation in stainless steel was stopped when just off dry.

Gold River wines are handpicked, handcrafted expressions of Central Otago that offer immediate drinking pleasure.
