Allan Scott Marlborough Pinot Gris 2026
Trust your Taste
Baked pear, quince and stone fruit give this Marlborough Pinot Gris an inviting, gently rounded character. A little citrus freshness keeps the finish crisp, while lees ageing adds subtle texture. Try it with cheese, chicken or fish when you want an aromatic white with soft edges.
