Devils Staircase (Otago) 2023 Pinot Gris

The winery writes
"The unrelenting Central Otago environment tortures the vines whose twisted limbs produce a wine worthy of absolution; honeydew nectar and lush fruits, sinfully succulent and devilishly good. Sourced from Rockburns Central Otago vineyards. Bouquet: Nashi pears, ginger and lemon zest. Palate: Honeydew nectar and lush fruits, sinfully succulent and devilishly good"

Rockburn (Central Otago) 2022 Chardonnay

5 Stars – Sam Kim Wine Orbit
93 Points – David Walker Bell
93 Points – Cameron Douglas MS

Rockburn Chardonnay leans towards the crisper and lighter end of the spectrum, demanding minimal use of oak.The nose is pure and subtle with elements of wet stone, lemon zest and ripe peach.  The palate is full, textural with fine tension, showing lemon meringue, butterscotch and delicate minerality and a zesty finish.

A perfect complement to roast chicken, risotto, and seafood.
