About this wine

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. After gentle pressing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve varietal purity and freshness. The wine then spends 4–8 months on yeast lees to build texture and complexity. Winemaker Rod McDonald crafts wines with minimal intervention to reflect the vineyard's natural balance and vitality, creating expressive, fruit-driven wines that embody a true sense of place.

Tasting Notes Aromas of lychee, waxy florals, and white-fleshed peach lead into a complex palate of fresh pear, apple, and subtle spice. A steely undertone and crisp acidity balance the generous fruit, finishing long and vibrant with a touch of ginger spice. Food Match Perfect
