Details
The Waipara Valley, just outside of Christchurch, is home to many acres of vineyards, planted mostly with aromatic varietals such as Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. The aromats do well here due to the long growing season (allowing full ripeness of the grapes) as well as the protected nature of the terroir.
Francesca Bay Waipara Pinot Gris 2023 is an elegant and aromatic wine that showcases the unique terroir of Waipara, New Zealand. This Pinot Gris is known for its pristine aromas of nectarine, green pear, lemon peel, and delicate floral notes. The palate is finely textured with juicy acidity, offering a long and satisfying finish. Perfectly balanced, this wine is a delightful expression of the Waipara region's cool climate viticulture, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate refined, fruit-forward white wines.
An aromatic great for spicy Asian dishes.
Harvested from vineyards across the Waipara Valley in North Canterbury, NZ.

17/20, Wine Central Tasting Panel
"This is nicely fragrant on the nose showing red cherry, raspberry, floral and mixed spice characters with a hint of earthy mushroom notes. The palate is juicy and rounded, and delivers smooth mouthfeel and fine texture, delicately framed by polished tannins. It is elegant and gentle with bright fruit flavours with attractive savoury undertones. At its best: now to 2025" - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit. 4.5 Stars (91/100)
