Small and Small Pinot Gris 2016
About the wine
Crisp and refreshing Marlborough Pinot Gris from low yielding vineyards
- Marlborough is best known for its Sauvignon Blanc, and thanks to Naked Wines it's also what most Angels associate with us. What is less well known is that Marlborough also has one of the best climates for Pinot Gris - cool enough to allow the grape to ripen with plenty of flavour, but also dry enough that we can pick at perfect ripeness.
- We told Naked that we had found the perfect Pinot Gris from low yielding vineyards across Marlborough's Wairau and Awatere Valleys (one of the worlds premier cool climate wine producing regions). They said 'yep' to our proposal without batting an eyelid, which meant that we could grab the lot and get on with the job.
- Our Small and Small Pinot Gris has been picked at perfect ripeness. It's crisp and refreshing, with delicious peach and nectarine aromas and crunchy pear flavours. We've made it to drink all year round so that you can enjoy Marlborough wherever you are!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Bill & Claudia Small
- Husband and wife team Bill and Claudia went it alone thanks to Angel funding over a decade ago. Since then, they've gone on to become Naked legends.
- Using your Angel funding, the Smalls have built close relationships with grape growers ‘in the bits of Marlborough they love’ to make lovingly crafted gems from some of the best fruit going.
- With you behind them, your King and Queen of Marlborough have gone from strength to strength. You’re the reason they make some of the highest-rated Sauvignons in the whole of New Zealand. Kudos to you.
