GWEN COLLECTION
CHURCH ROAD GWEN
PINOT GRIS 2022
PROVENANCE
This wine was grown on our Matapiro Vineyard in the cooler Crownthorpe Terraces sub region of Hawke’s Bay. At approximately 200 m above sea level, this is our most elevated and inland vineyard. Being further from the moderating influence of the sea breeze, there is greater diurnal temperature fluctuation, with warm days and cool nights, perfect for retaining aromatics and acidity.

AROMAS
TASTING NOTES
On the nose, the wine is reminiscent of ripe autumn orchard fruit,
lifted by notes of honeysuckle with a savoury complexity and subtle
minerality providing depth and interest.
BODY
TASTING NOTES
A dry, fresh and mineral driven Pinot Gris with
exceptional length and finesse on the palate.
CELLARING
TASTING NOTES
While beautiful drinking now, this wine should reward
cellaring for at least four years from vintage date.
