Pinot Gris is a variety that is increasingly being produced in New Zealand. Its rounded flavor makes it a good choice for those who don't like acidic wines. This wine is characterized by a pleasant floral aroma and a peach-like aftertaste.

The great thing about Pinot Gris is that it can be paired with everything from appetizers to meat dishes, including tempura, pork saute, and eight treasure dishes, regardless of whether they are Japanese, Western, or Chinese.

Rounded and gentle white

This Pinot Gris is blended with a small amount of Gewurztraminer (3%), which gives it a very elegant aroma. The moment you pour it into the glass, you'll be greeted with the rich aroma of citrus, honey, and white flowers.

When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the refreshing flavor of citrus fruits such as lemon and lime, the mellow umami of stone fruit, and a honey-like nuance.

It has a lemony flavor but a mild acidity, giving it a rounded taste.

The finish is long, with rich flavors of peach and ripe melon pleasantly lingering in your nose.
