Maude Central Otago Pinot Gris 2015 375ml x 12
"The wine is elegant yet generous and flavoursome, displaying lifted aromas of fresh pear, citrus, jasmine and floral on the nose. It is juicy and vibrant, and shows excellent fruit weight and fine texture, brilliantly structured by fine acidity. The wine shows lovely poise as well as instant appeal, finishing long and refreshing. At its best: 2016 to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sept 2015
"Quite a weighty, textural Pinot Gris with spiced stewed apple, pear and subtle toasted nut flavours. The wine is dry, flavoursome and lengthy. Solid, well-made Pinot Gris that's a versatile food wine" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Sept 2015
"Snappy, instantly appealing aromas of nashi, quince and fresh white peach greet the nose and spill into the palate ina tsunami of texture and flavour in this gem made by Sarah-Kate & Dan Dineen from down Wanaka way. If you're new to pinot gris, or always seem to stumble across bad ones, then this is the awakening you'll be looking for. Crunchy acidity and a dry, juicy mouthfeel make this a winner" Yvonne Lorkin, Canvas NZ Heralnd, Oct 2015
"Bright, very pale straw colour with slight green hues, near colourless on rim. The nose is fresh and perfumed with aromas of exotic white and yellow florals, pear fruit, honeysuckle and youthful, lifted fermentation esters. The aromatics are fine in concentration and build in depth in the glass. Dry to taste, elegantly concentrated and aromatic fruit flavours of pears and honeysuckle are lifted by exotic florals and fermentation esters. The mouthfeel is bright and lively from soft, lacy acidity, and the palate exudes vitality and freshness. The wine flows smoothly, following a fine-textured line, leading to a long, tightly bound, mouth-wateringly dry, aromatic finish. This is an elegant, concentrated dry Pinot Gris with vibrant and aromatic fruit. Match with fine Asian fare over the next 3-4 years. Hand-picked fruit from the ‘Mt Maude’ vineyard along with that from Maori Point Road, Lowburn and Gibbston Valley, 60% fermented in stainless-steel and 40% in seasoned barriques to 13.0% alc. and 5.2 g/L RS" Raymond Chan, Sept 2015
Pinot Gris from Maude’s Central Otago vineyards often displays the character of the fruit trees which preceded the vineyards, namely the stone fruit trees of nectarine, peach and apricot. A blend of vineyards throughout Central allows them to deliver a wine with a large array of aromas and flavours – from the fruit tree blossom, perfumed, pure and delicate to the juicy lush flavours of a ripe peach.
The 2015 season had a slow start, with late spring frosts caused some sleepless nights at Maude with helicopters on standby for the first vintage. But then the season did a complete backflip with an exceptionally warm December, perfectly timed for a concise flowering period and resultant healthy fruit set. Night time temperatures were unusually high, which coupled with the warm days meant harvest began earlier and the 2015 season was more compressed than recent years.
Grapes were hand harvested with 60 % of the juice is fermented in stainless steel contributing to the delicate and pure aromatics in the wine. The remaining 40% is fermented in older oak barriques giving viscosity and texture. Combining these parcels created a Pinot Gris that is both aromatic and textural.
