The palate is full of fruit without tipping into sweetness, finished slightly off-dry in the winery's own signature style. A patient 2025 season saw fruit gently pressed, floated and racked, then fermented using a mix of cool and warm-temperature yeast strains to build vibrant fruit character alongside real textural weight. Gold medal-winning across multiple New Zealand wine competitions this vintage, it's a Reserve-tier Pinot Gris built for immediate enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2025 was a vintage where patience was rewarded. A warm spring created ideal growing conditions and abundant crop loads, which were carefully thinned to lift fruit quality, while cool January temperatures extended ripening and built palate weight and aromatic intensity. Harvest began in mid-March, working block by block as each reached optimal ripeness. The fruit was gently pressed, floated and racked, then fermented with selected yeast strains at both cool and warm temperatures before fermentation was stopped to leave the wine gently off-dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCameron Douglas, MS, camdouglasms.com, 92 Points (2025 Vintage)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Classic bouquet and palate filled with flavours of green pears and yellow apples. There's a hint of quince and plenty of leesy textures and complexity with a light-beer idea. A satin texture with plenty of acidity for crispness and freshness and flavours that reflect the pomaceous drive at the core of this wine. Best drinking from 2025 through 2027.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53182030840175,"sku":"100696","price":101.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/2252\/6319\/files\/RapauraSpringsReservePinotGris2025.jpg?v=1783715338","url":"https:\/\/stolencellar.co.nz\/products\/rapaura-springs-reserve-pinot-gris","provider":"Stolen Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
