Overview
The Sheild Wines Pinot Gris is a rich and expressive white from Nelson’s Old House Road vineyards, where the region’s abundant sunshine and cool coastal influences produce fruit of purity and depth. Crafted with a light touch in the winery, this Pinot Gris reflects both the character of its steep vineyard slopes and the precision of careful winemaking.
Tasting Notes
Golden straw in colour, the bouquet is lifted with aromas of quince, ripe pear and nougat layered with subtle ferment-derived complexity. The palate is full bodied and textural, rounded by time on fine lees, yet balanced with freshness and a clean, dry finish. Smooth, expressive and finely structured, it is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with roast poultry, creamy pasta or soft cheeses, while remaining elegant enough to enjoy on its own.
