Pinot Gris from New Zealand is light yellow with flavors of pear and a hint of spice. It's light-bodied with a refreshing acidity. Perfect with salads and light pasta dishes. Ideal for a casual lunch.
New Zealand winemakers often use lees stirring (bâtonnage) during Pinot Gris production to add texture and complexity to the wine. This technique enhances the creamy mouthfeel and nutty flavors, setting it apart from lighter, crisper styles.
Pinot Gris is excellent with "Seafood Pasta," where the wine's fruitiness and acidity enhance the dish, or pair it with "Spicy Asian Dishes," where its slight sweetness balances the heat.
