Show Notes
Wine: Tiki Single Vineyard Pinot Gris 2024, North Canterbury, $23.00
In recognition of Matariki and to highlight we have a growing number of Māori wine producers in NZ (Tiki, Tarras, Steve Bird, te PA, Tohu).
A crisp, dry style Pinot Gris with aromas and flavours of green pear and apple, some citrus highlights and a touch of quince. Just dry on the palate with an immediate bite of acidity and phenolics for texture and mouthfeel. There’s a fine less quality adding complexity and breadth across the palate. Best drinking from late 2024 through 2027.
The Food: A wine that is delicious with all sorts of hangi fare – especially kumara and pork belly. If you prefer seafood, then poached salmon with lemon is a great match. Vegetarians will like this wine with cashew nut dusted tofu burger with red beet and tasty cheese.
The season: 2024 was an excellent year for most growers in NZ.
