The Vineyards

The 2019 Rabbit Island Nelson Pinot Gris is a blend of two of our Pinot Gris vineyard blocks. This allows us to take advantage of the varying clones and nuances each of these sites offers.

The Brightwater Vineyard vines are grown in an extremely stony area of the vineyard where water and nutrient levels are low. This helps us to restrict the plants vigour and to crop at low levels. To further enhance the aromatics, leaves were removed to allow light penetration and air movement around the fruiting zone.

Our Queen Victoria vineyard is our new vineyard block located in the Motueka area. This young vineyard has six year old vines on very stony, free draining soils and produces bright, exuberant fruit characters.

Winemakers Note

We used separate parcels of Pinot Gris from our stony and silty blocks to blend a complex wine. The wine pulls together fruit from our varying Estate vineyards to make the best our terroirs have to offer. 

Tasting Note

The 2019 Rabbit Island Nelson Pinot Gris is delicately floral with quince and melon notes coming through on the palate. The palate is clean and crisp leaving a gentle spicy finish.
