4.5 Stars - Yvonne Lorkin
4 Stars - Michael Cooper, Winestate Magazine 
"Enjoyable young, this partly barrel-fermented wine was estate-grown in Gibbston. Bright, light lemon/green, it is medium-bodied, with strong, vibrant, peachy flavours, gentle sweetness, fresh acidity, and an invitingly scented bouquet" Michael Cooper

5 Stars - Raymond Chan Wine Reviews by Candice Chow 
"Bright, pale yellow with depth, even colour throughout. The nose is gently-full, with soft aromas of ripe Peckham pear, yellow nectarine, white floral, honey and spice. Medium-bodied, dry-ish to taste, succulent aromas of Peckham pear, nectarine entwined with ginger, white pepper and a honied note; salivating acidity provides a crisp balance to the sweetness, led a juicy finish. A slightly oily mouthfeel reflects minerals and fine-textured phenolics. This crisp, dry-ish Pinot Gris possesses lush fruit and spice with a refreshing, moreish finish. Match with spicy fishcakes and chilli pork over the next 3-5 years.” Candice Chow

92 Points - Wine Folio - David Walker Bell
"Golden yellow straw coloured, with green edges; and a lively nose filled with classic Pinot Gris aromatics – pear, guava, rockmelon, lime leaf, mandarin, ginger and lychee. Central Otago summer sunshine in a glass – off-dry, warming, rich and ripe.” David Walker Bell

17.5/20 - Joelle Thomson
"Smooth and fruity with aromas of ripe pear, peach and red floral aromas, thanks to ripe grapes which were given minimal winemaking. This is a drink me now Pinot Gris with weight thanks to being medium dry with 17 grams residual sugar, which adds intensity and depth to each sip. Drink now or in the next two to four years.” Joelle Thomson

5 Stars - Sam Kim,  Wine Orbit 
 "It's elegant and delicately expressed on the nose showing nectarine, green pear, lemon pith and subtle flinty notes, leading to a finely textured palate delivering excellent focus and linear mouthfeel. Firmly structured by vibrant acidity, finishing persistent and mouth-watering. At its best: now to 2026. Sam Kim

Grapes were hand harvested early morning then quickly returned to the Rockburn Winery and fermented in small batches.

Parcels of the youthful pinot gris are then subtlety aged in older French oak, adding additional layers of texture and weight to the palate and enhancing the exceptional aromatics and flavours.

Aromas of ripe peach, nectarine, and Nashi pear with a vibrant luscious palate and long, zesty finish.  

Match with rich or light seafood meals and most spiced cuisine, very versatile.
