2024 Martinborough Vineyard Te Tera Pinot Gris
Grape
Pinot Gris
Its Origins
Free-draining soils, hot summers and long, dry autumns make Martinborough the perfect region for growing traditional cool-climate wines. Founded in 1980, Martinborough Vineyard was a trailblazer in the region and the first to plant the variety for which the region is best known, Pinot Noir. MV now lay claim to the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the district. Since the first vintage was released by pharmacist-turned-winemaker Russell Schultz in 1984, they have consistently produced world-class wines from the home block, Martinborough Terraces blocks, and more recently, the Burnt Spur vineyards. A big move towards organic/sustainable vineyards is currently in place.
What The Critics Say
Gold Medal and 95/100 at the New Zealand International Wine Show, 2024
94/100 Wine Orbit, Sam Kim
"Beautifully fruited and inviting, the wine shows Asian pear, apricot, rockmelon and crunchy apple notes on the nose. The palate is equally charming with excellent weight and fine flow, well supported by juicy acidity, making it immediately appealing. At its best: now to 2027. www.martinborough-vineyard.co.nz. Oct 2024." Drink 2024 - 2027
92/100 Cameron Douglas MS
"A fine bouquet with white fruits of pear and apple framed by a gravel mineral and spices from the kitchen. Youthful, direct and engaging. On the palate a dry wine with a rounded satin-cream mouthfeel. Flavours of pomaceous fruits and citrus peel then soil and a white nut quality. Seamless and delicious with best drinking from 2025 through 2029."
