The story of Kahurangi Pinot Gris

Kahurangi Estate makes its Pinot Gris in Nelson, at the top of the South Island, where the home vineyard sits at Upper Moutere. Nelson's wine story is older than most: German settlers planted the first vines in the mid 1800s, and the modern industry took shape through a handful of pioneering producers in the 1970s. Kahurangi's fruit comes from contract growers in the region, and the wine is fermented and matured entirely in stainless steel.

Pinot Gris began in Burgundy, and the name gives the clue. The berries have a pinkish grey skin, and gris is French for grey. The Moutere Hills, where the estate sits, have gravel-threaded clay soils that add richness and texture to the wines. Kahurangi's version leans on pear and quince, with a spicy edge and juicy acidity that carries the finish.

It is easy to serve. Chill it and pour it as an aperitif, or take it to the table with fresh fish. Aged cheddar, seared tuna and roast chicken also suit it, and the spice in the wine holds up well against all three.
