Rockburn Central Otago Pinot Gris 2025 750ML

⭐ 94 Points / 5 Stars – Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

🏅 Excellent – Mark Henderson, Otago Daily Times

Rockburn Central Otago Pinot Gris  is an elegant and beautifully textured New Zealand white wine, showcasing the vibrant fruit character and refreshing acidity of Central Otago's cool-climate vineyards.

Sourced from the high-altitude Gibbston sub-region, this expressive Pinot Gris benefits from a long, slow ripening season, allowing the grapes to develop exceptional aromatic intensity and natural freshness.

The 2025 vintage incorporates additional skin contact, enhancing the wine's depth, silky texture and delicate copper-blush colour.

The nose reveals inviting aromas of ripe pear, crisp green apple, white nectarine and citrus blossom, complemented by subtle floral and mineral notes.

On the palate, generous orchard fruit flavours combine with lemon zest, gentle ginger spice and a touch of caramel, supported by lively acidity and a beautifully rounded texture.

The finish is long, refreshing and elegant, with lingering fruit flavours and a subtle savoury complexity.

A versatile, food-friendly Pinot Gris, this wine pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, Asian cuisine, roast chicken and pork dishes.
