Teviotdale Pinot Gris 2007

A completely new Single Vineyard offering from Alan McCorkindale who has been producing wine under his own label Alan McCorkindale and also the Awapuni Point. Named after the mountain range behind his property in Waipara, this is an exit from his usual style of Pinot Gris which has been more on the fruity side, to a cleaner more refined Pinot Gris which has good length, structure and an immense oily middle palate that is reminiscent of a good Alsace Pinot Gris. What we really like about this Pinot Gris is that it's dry, concentrated and has outstanding purity. Drinking well with fish or white meats or even as an aperitif. Drink now or cellar for another 2-3 years.
