Tinpot Hut is a 100% Pinot Gris sourced from two vineyards; Tinpot Hut's Home Block in the Blind River sub-region of the Awatere Valley, and another select vineyard in the Omaka Valley. Fruit was transported to the winery for immediate pressing, with minimal skin contact to prevent juice deterioration. Once settled, the clear juice was cool fermented in stainless steel using an aromatic yeast to tease out the delicate flavours, and to retain the fresh fruit characteristics and underlying spicy notes.

"This Pinot Gris is a blend of fruit from Blind River (Awatere Valley) and the Omaka Valley. It offers sedate aromas of apples and pears, kiwifruit and lime; a medium-bodied palate; and a crisp, dry finish (unlike many New Zealand Pinot Gris)."robertparker.com

"....this super-sippable wine has won more awards than you can sling a screwcap at. A succulent pear, nashi and spiced honeysuckle core is buoyed by terrific textural grip and fresh acidity. Fruity, floral and fabulous."
