Roaring Meg Pinot Gris 2024

This is a variety not seen a lot from in this part of New Zealand, but the Mount Difficulty winery who make this wine do a pretty good job with it. An aromatic fruit salad nose leads on to quite a rich and full bodied palate with apricot, peach, melon and mango fruit flavours with touches of spice. The well controlled acidity balances nicely with the hint of sweetness on the finish.

A satisfyingly full and complete wine that'll go well with south asian and oriental dishes.

Mount Difficulty Wines’s origins date back to the early 1990s when the owners of five newly planted Bannockburn vineyards decided to pool their resources and produce wine under a single label. Pinot Noir, the region's hallmark, is naturally their main focus, but they also excel with Chardonnay and a selection of aromatic whites. Now one of Central Otago's most successful estates, Mount Difficulty offers a range of wines that reflect the area's unique qualities. Their more affordable Roaring Meg wines are particularly noteworthy, providing a great introduction to the region's distinctive character.
