New vintage release

Named after the mountain that over looks the vineyard. Yawn, not another wine that draws inspiration from a nearby river, mountain or bush! But this mountain plays a big part in producing this world class wine. It helps block the cool winds from Wakatipu Basin and Gibbston Valley and in turn helps the Pinot Gris grape flurrish.

Mt Difficulty Pinot Gris is a full bodied, rich style Gris with a step up in class you’d expect from a producer like Mount Difficulty. A result of a warmer vintage shows ripe melon, white fleshed stonefruit, pear and fresh ginger aromatic notes. The palate displays these same characters in abundance focusing on ripe succulent peach and pear notes, while the mid palate is full, creamy and well textured. The wine has a rich, spice infused finish.
