Matawhero Single Vineyard Pinot Gris 2024

Get to know: Matawhero Single Vineyard Pinot Gris

A richly aromatic New Zealand Pinot Gris from the sun-drenched vineyards of Gisborne.

Tasting Note

Matawhero Single Vineyard Pinot Gris is a fragrant, soft, and textural white that combines aromatic lift with a full-bodied palate. Water white with hints of green and gold, it displays aromas of lychee, nashi pear, almond, and a touch of honeysuckle. On the palate, the Pinot Gris delivers ripe nashi pear, lychee, and subtle spice, rounded with a gentle honeysuckle sweetness and a crisp, dry finish. This is a lush, approachable style of Gisborne white, perfect for those who enjoy expressive, fruit-driven wines.

Top food pairings:

  • Japanese cuisine or sushi
  • Asian-inspired pork salad
  • Grilled white fish with herbs
Kate Says

"We’ve worked with Kirsten for a number of years already and I love her energy and dedication to producing quality wines. This Pinot Gris is such a luscious, fruity yet dry wine. Brilliant with lightly spiced Asian dishes or simply enjoyed chilled on its own."

Producer Info

Matawhero Wines is a historic Gisborne winery, guided today by Kirsten and Richard Searle. Renowned for preserving the region’s single-vineyard legacy, they combine passion, local knowledge, and sustainable practices to produce expressive, fruit-driven wines. The Briant vineyard’s silty clay soils and coastal climate help Pinot Gris achieve intense aromatics and excellent ripeness while maintaining natural acidity.

  • Hand-harvested early on cool autumn mornings to preserve freshness
  • Gentle pressing and cool clarification to retain delicate aromatics
  • Fermentation in stainless steel with carefully selected aromatic yeast at cool temperatures
  • Minimal intervention – stabilised, filtered, and bottled to express the vineyard’s character

Good to know:

  • Region: Gisborne, New Zealand
  • Style: White, still, full-bodied
  • Closure: Screwcap
  • Vegan: Yes
  • ABV: 13.5%

Why we love it:

This Gisborne Pinot Gris is a perfect balance of rich, aromatic fruit and crisp, dry acidity. Full-bodied yet elegant, it pairs beautifully with Asian-inspired cuisine, seafood, or simply as a solo sipper on a sunny day.
