Iris Pinot Gris 2026

Sale price$27.99

From our Te Hau Matapiro vineyard comes a wine that captures the site in the glass. Nectarine and citrus lead, balanced by a refreshing acidity that keeps things bright. Gentle floral notes and a touch of minerality bring the complexity that makes this one worth lingering over.

HAWKES BAY

‘Te Hau’ Matapiro – Crownthorpe

Elevation 120-130 metres. 15.5 Ha.

A recent addition to our estate, this compact, north-facing vineyard in Central Hawke’s Bay delivered its first harvest of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in 2024. Set on well-drained loam soils and shaped by steady coastal breezes, it produces fruit with clarity and energy.

We’ve named this block Te Hau (pronounced “Teh Ho”) — meaning the wind in Te Reo Māori. It’s a nod to the ever-present breeze that flows through the site, but also to something deeper: hau can also mean vital essence or breath of life — capturing the spirit of this place and the wines it inspires.

Planted Varieties: Pinot Gris (unk), Sauvignon Blanc (MS), Pinot Noir (667), Chardonnay (95)

Soil type: Silt Loam Soil

Vine age: Sauvignon Blanc (10 years), Chardonnay (4-6 years), Pinot Noir & Pinot Gris (15 years)
