Bannockburn Pinot Gris, Mt Difficulty
The front palate displays vibrant, juicy flavours of stone fruits and ripe red apples, whilst the mid palate is full, creamy and well textured followed by a lingering, rich yet clean grapefruit driven finish.
Recently rated 5 Stars in Decanter, this aromatic Pinot Gris grows really well in the cool climatic conditions and produces a dry white with stone fruit aromas of peach and nectarine on the nose.

Mt Difficulty is Central Otago’s leading artisan winegrower with a pioneering heritage based in Bannockburn. With their founding vineyards established in 1992, Mt Difficulty owns some of the oldest vines having harnessed this once brutal terrain to produce premium wines that are among the finest in New Zealand. Mount Difficulty is Bannockburn’s highest peak and the backdrop to their vineyards – some of Bannockburn’s oldest. Sustainability is at the heart of everything they do including using recycled glass made locally, a living roof to encourage biodiversity and new waste reduction technology - to list just a few things they do.
A spectacular landscape and sophisticated tourist culture are also home to some of the world' best Pinot Noir, not to mention impressive, vivid white wines. The main sub-regions lie within close reach, but the distinctive mountainous terrain means each occupies a unique niche of climate, aspect and altitude. Soils can vary considerably within each sub-region though a stony free draining base is common to all. The world's southernmost wine region and the country's highest, in this semi-continental climate frosts are an accepted and planned-for hazard. Dry autumns and overall low humidity are significant assets, helping to coax both amazing purity and complexity.
