Mount Riley Pinot Gris 2024
Mount Riley Pinot Gris 2024 is an off-dry white wine from the Marlborough region of New Zealand. It is produced by Mount Riley Wines, a family-owned estate established in 1992 that focuses on creating high-value wines that capture the specific terroir of the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. This specific vintage was shaped by a shift to strong El Niño weather patterns, resulting in a dry, windy growing season that produced exceptionally clean fruit with intense aromatics.
Wine Description
Appearance: The wine displays a pale straw colour in the glass.
Aroma: It features a bright, elegantly fragrant bouquet of Asian pear, Gala apple, and rockmelon, underscored by fresh herbal notes and a hint of spice.
Palate: On the palate, it is medium-bodied and just off-dry, offering a rich, fleshy texture balanced by vibrant natural acidity.
Technical Details: The wine is made from 100% estate-grown Pinot Gris. While most of the juice is fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures to retain freshness, approximately 10% is fermented in old French oak barrels to add weight, complexity, and texture.Specifications: It typically has an alcohol content of 13.5% ABV and a residual sugar level of 6.0 g/L.
Food Pairing
The "smooth nature" and off-dry profile of this Pinot Gris make it an excellent partner for dishes that balance spice or creaminess:
Meats: Pairs well with white meats like chicken or veal, as well as roast pork.
Asian Cuisine: Its slight sweetness and acidity are a "game-changer" for Thai cuisine, Indian appetizers, and Vietnamese pork stews.
Seafood: Suggested matches include Ebi (prawn) tempura and smoked fish.Cheese: Complements a variety of cheeses, particularly soft-ripened styles or Ossau-Iraty sheep milk cheese.
