Region: New Zealand, Marlborough

Grape variety: Pinot Gris

Background: Leefield Station is located in the Waihopai Valley of Marlborough, and is one of the oldest farming stations in Marlborough, dating back to the 1840s. In 2013 Brent Marris of Marisco Vineyards purchased the 2,300 ha property with sights set for not only its pastoral farming potential but also to convert a large portion of the land to vineyard.

Tasting notes: Fragrant aromas of yellow apples and grapefruit commingle with green tropical fruits and a lifted spiciness reminiscent of powered ginger.
