Winemaker
Selection Massale is a Marlborough wine project with a focus on approachable, clearly expressed varieties. Sustainable viticulture underpins its sourcing.

Wine
The 2024 Pinot Gris was fermented cool in stainless steel, then aged on its lees to build texture while retaining fruit. Pear and ripe orchard fruit, with a rounded, dry palate. The lees ageing gives enough texture for food, while the freshness keeps the finish comfortable. Try with roast chicken, pork or a vegetable dish with a creamy element.

Origin
Marlborough's long sunny days are followed by cool nights. Alluvial gravel and clay-based soils occur across its vineyard areas. Pinot Gris develops ripe orchard fruit here while retaining acidity, giving a fresh foundation beneath its rounded texture.
