The 2023 Ata Rangi Pinot Gris from Martinborough is a standout example of New Zealand's world-renowned white wines. On the nose, delicate aromas of ripe pear, honeyed apricot, and white flowers dance together, creating a tantalizing invitation to sip. In the glass, the wine is a pale straw color, with an inviting clarity that hints at its purity. On the palate, the wine is beautifully balanced, with a medium body and refreshing acidity. Flavors of stone fruit, subtle spices, and a touch of minerality come together to create a complex and well-rounded experience. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of citrus and a hint of creaminess. With its impeccable balance and elegant flavors, this Pinot Gris from Ata Rangi is a true gem that will only continue to improve with age. Enjoy now or cellar for a few years for an even more rewarding experience.

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The vines for this are 20 or more years old now, and the vine age counts for complexity and stature in the wine. Here, the 2023 Pinot Gris leads with salted nashi pear, a hint of mealy apple and some crushed nuts stitched together with fine strands of acid. The texture through the finish is fine and chalky. It's good! By all accounts, 2023 was challenging to the point of unpleasant, but I have found some beautiful wines from this season, so go slow on hasty judgments. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
