About the Wine
The Mt Difficulty Roaring Meg Pinot Gris is a lovely, inviting wine that draws you in with its beautiful nose of ripe pears, citrus and peach. The palate is very lively due to the high acidity, which balances the sweetness well and stops it from feeling too cloying. This is a wine that generally shows its best when young, so drink it now!
The wine's texture and sweetness comes from the process of stopping the alcoholic fermentation before the wine has become completely dry, so some sugars are left over. As the wine wasn't fined or filtered before bottling, it retains some of the texture of the lees (dead yeast cells).
About Mt Difficulty
Mt Difficulty is comprised of many vineyards, all across Central Otago - from Gibbston to Bendigo.
The Central Otago region has a fantastic climate and unique soils perfect for growing Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris.
Despite making fantastic wines of the above varieties, they still like to push the limits and experiment with their winemaking. Current Chief winemaker Greg Lane, hailing from South Australia, earned himself the title of New Zealand Young Winemaker of the Year in 2018 and has no plans of holding back on establishing Mt Difficulty as the benchmark of Central Otago winemaking.
