Wildsong Organic Pinot Gris 2022
Wildsong Pinot Gris is a beautifully expressive organic white from Hawke's Bay, showcasing the purity and brightness that define this coastal region. Sourced from the sustainably farmed Maraekakaho Vineyard, planted on ancient river terraces formed by the Ngaruroro River, this wine captures both the richness of the alluvial soils and the freshness of the maritime climate. Why You'll Love It This is certified organic Pinot Gris from Hawke's Bay's renowned Maraekakaho Vineyard. Planted on ancient river terraces with stony, greywacke-rich soils, the vineyard benefits from warm days and cool nights that enhance aromatic precision.
