Anchorage Estate Pinot Gris 2026

Estate & Region
Motueka Winemakers and Growers is a proudly family-owned and operated winery, based in beautiful Nelson wine region. Our hands-on approach and deep local roots drive everything we do — from vine to bottle. We believe great wine starts with great land, and the rich Motueka soils, coastal breezes, and consistently high sunshine hours offer the perfect environment for crafting expressive, aromatic varietals. Our goal is simple: to create vibrant, everyday wines that over-deliver on quality, character, and pure drinking pleasure.

Winemaking
Harvested in the cool mornings of mid-March, grapes from our Lower Moutere Flett Road vineyard were gently pressed and cool-fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness and purity. A short period on lees has enhanced texture and complexity, revealing layers of stone fruit and subtle spice, with a long, textured, pleasing finish.

Tasting Note
A fragrant and softly textured Pinot Gris, offering aromas of ripe pear, apricot, quince and delicate orange blossom. The palate is generous and rounded, with flavours of warm stone fruit, fresh citrus and a subtle honeyed richness. Bright acidity brings balance and lift, leading to a clean, mouth-watering finish.
