Produced in the heart of Wairarapa, New Zealand, the Borthwick Estate is family-owned and known for its sustainable viticulture and riverside setting. The Pinot Gris vines thrive on stony, free-draining alluvial soils shaped by the nearby Ruamahunga River. This terroirmarked by warm days, cool nights, and a balanced climateimbues the wine with clarity, texture, and regional character.
Paddy Borthwick Pinot Gris is aromatic and refined, offering a bouquet of ripe pear, quince, green apple, and delicate honeysuckle, layered with subtle baking spice and lees-driven minerality. On the palate, it is medium-bodied yet bright, with a smooth texture, gentle oak influence, and a dry, crisp finish highlighted by a lingering touch of spice.
Its aromatic fruit and crisp minerality make it a superb match for Thai green curry, sushi, roast pork with pear sauce, creamy pasta, poultry, or light seafood dishes. These pairings highlight the wines balance of richness and freshness.
The vineyards benefit from stony alluvial soils and a microclimate that encourages balanced ripening and concentration. Sustainability is core to the estates philosophy, with minimal intervention in both vineyard and winery. Crafted to reflect its origins, the wine typically undergoes restrained oak treatment, preserving its primary fruit expression and maintaining a clean, elegant profile.
