Product Notes

Escarpment Gris wine, produced in the lush vineyards of New Zealand, exudes an impressive bouquet of ripe pears, peaches, and honeycomb. Its light golden colour mesmerises, while its flavour profile dances on the palate, striking a harmonious balance of sweetness and acidity. Each sip reveals a delicate undertone of almond and vanilla, creating an enchanting complexity. The perfect choice for a refreshing experience on a sunny afternoon, Escarpment Gris is noted for its crisp, medium-bodied profile. Its elegant, subtle aftertaste leaves wine enthusiasts wanting for more. Indeed, this exquisite wine is the epitome of charm and refinement.

Tasting Notes

A Burgundian-inspired Pinot Gris with flavours reminiscent of ripe pears and white stone fruit. A delightfully soft texture ensures a long, commanding finish while the dryness enhances the fruit flavours for which Pinot Gris is renowned.
