Tasting Note:
An exotic Middle-Eastern mélange of poached quinces, sticky dates and
tree-ripened figs, laced with vanilla bean, cardamom and hints of black licorice. This is a ripe,
opulent expression of the pinot gris grape in a voluptuous off-dry style that has considerable
concentration and a long, luscious finish.

Additional Information

Description
New Zealand does not have a designated national rock, but if one was ever chosen it would have to be greywacke (pron: grey-wacky). This drab grey stone is found everywhere in New Zealand – on the mountains, in the rivers, on the beaches. It consists of layers of hard, muddy grey sandstone alternating with thinner layers of darker mudstone (argillite). Technically the term greywacke refers to the sandstone (wacke is a German name for a type of sandstone), but it is also used as a general term for the entire rock.
