Tasty and bitter Pinot Gris

Grove Mill is a pioneering winery that has begun making wine in a sustainable environment.

This Pinot Gris is a full-bodied white wine with a mellow acidity and a strong fruity flavor like plum or apricot.

It also has a yogurt-like flavor and is quite rich. The aftertaste has a spicy astringency, so it could be said to taste similar to orange wine.

The overall style has a sense of volume.

It goes well with vegetables and fish, but also with meat dishes, such as sauteed chicken, tonkatsu, and pork shabu-shabu hotpot.

About the Winery "Grove Mill"

Grove Mill is located in the Wairau Valley, in the heart of Marlborough's wine region, and was founded in 1988 by a group of local grape growers and enthusiasts.

Long before the concept of sustainability became widely accepted, they continued to produce premium, handcrafted wines with minimal impact on the environment, becoming pioneers of local, circular winemaking.

The Southern Belle Frog, featured in the label design, is a symbol of their commitment to protecting the local land for future generations.

The Wairau Valley region is named after the Wairau River, which flows east to west from the mountains to the Pacific Ocean. The shallow, stony, well-drained soils are ideal for growing wine grapes, producing a distinctive, flavorful fruit character.

About Marlborough

Marlborough is the heart of New Zealand's wine region.

Marlborough has ideal natural conditions for grape growing, such as abundant sunshine and large temperature differences throughout the day, and more than 80% of New Zealand's wine is produced there.

Among them, Sauvignon Blanc, characterized by its crisp acidity and overflowing fruitiness, is produced in overwhelming quantities and is loved worldwide for its unique character. In addition, Pinot Noir, with its rich berry fruit flavor, is also popular among red wines.
