Pretty Good

This wine is vintage 2015 of the Pinot Gris variety culled from the Central Otago wine region. It has an alcohol level of 13.5%. The wine’s colour ranges from bright straw to a deep golden yellow. Typical aromas of ripe peach, nectarine, Nashi pears, apples, honeysuckle and spice flow off the lifted bouquet. The front palate is fruity and spicy, while the back palate experiences lychee flavours. This vibrant, off-dry palate leads to a long zesty finish. The fruits’ sweetness adds texture, complexity and length. Serving temperature is 7°C or 45°F. Some suggested food match-ups are spicy ginger pork in lettuce sauce, shrimp salad with croutons, Guinness-glazed halibut, crusted salmon with Asian vegetables, smoked eel with horseradish sauce and roast scallops with pancetta.

In the early 90s, Richard Bunton put up a 3-hectare hobby block at Lake Hayes. This was later followed by the acquisition of a 9-hectare developing vineyard. In 1998, the Hayes Lake label was successfully introduced. In 1999, Hayes Lake acquired a 33-hectare block at Parkburn. As their wine business expanded, Hayes Lake was rebranded to Rockburn Central Otago, thereby truly reflecting the terroir of the vineyards.
