Marlborough's Seddon Vineyard is a spectacular site, sheltered from the southern elements within a very warm mesoclime. Fruit is all hand picked throughout the chill of early morning and treated to a minimalist vinification to preserve the urgency of fully ripened Pinot Gris on the vine. Aromatic with pear, cinnamon and floral spice, finely textured and judiciously off dry, elegantly defined with exemplary balance between crisp acidity, textures and intensity of fruit, an engagingly compex, lingering finish.
