• Mike's Pinot Gris is a belter! Insanely tropical, tongue-tingly and rich... with that super-crisp tropical fruitiness New Zealand is famous for. Sunshine in a bottle.
• With Sauvignon Blanc stealing all the praise for Marlborough, it’s easy to forget that it’s a paradise for other grapes too. Luckily Mike used Angel funding to snaffle a parcel of perfect Pinot Gris from an immaculate vineyard to create an absolute belter of a wine.
• WARNING: This wine is dangerously drinkable... with or without food. Don't say we didn't warn you!

• Angels gave Dom the thumbs up to snaffle a one-off parcel of Pinot Gris from his neighbour’s award-winning vineyard, at a rock-bottom price.
• Dom is a Pinot Gris Wizard. One of his PGs was named "one of the 75 most exciting wines in the world" by top wine mag Decanter – so he knows a trick or two.
• Dom hand-picked the fruit over 5 days. Each day the grapes get slightly riper, so you get everything from fresh, zingy citrus through to delicious juicy peach and pear flavours.

• The Boy (Adrian) met the Girl (Rebecca) and this is the love child... a product of passion, hard work and bags of enthusiasm.
• Deliciously crisp with a fragrant scent of pears and apples and a hint of blush pink from keeping the grape skins in contact with the juice for a few hours... who'da thought that Pinot Grigio grapes are actually red in colour!
• The Aussie Angels keep most of this beauty for themselves so be sure to taste before we run out of our limited allocation.

• What’s fresher than a spray of ocean air, and zestier than a lemon convention? If you answered Pinot Grigio, you’d be absolutely right. And, if you didn't, maybe it's time you gave it a try.
• Our Italian bubble genius, Paolo, has set his sights on this Italian stalwart... and boy, has he made it worth your while! This crisp beauty will zip across your taste buds with a slice of apple and a touch of white peach.
• At a slender 12% it can be enjoyed on its lonesome or as a companion for steaming hot pasta with a rich creamy sauce.

• Paolo is one of the Veneto's genius winemakers, even with something as simple as this scrumptious Pinot Grigio blush.
• It's a wonderfully light and quaffable wine, with hints of fresh raspberries and crisp apple flavours.
• One of the best things is how versatile this little beauty is. It's elegant enough for fish dishes but has enough oomph to go with the odd homemade pie or spag bol.

• Meet Nicky and Peter... Nicky is the winemaker and Peter is the grower. They are father and daughter, and combined have 49 years experience in the wine industry. 
• When this father-daughter winemaking duo asked if Angels would like a small-production New Zealand Pinot Gris, we couldn't say yes fast enough.
• Harvested from the up-and-coming Waipara region, this crisp white is fresh and full of personality. The cool and dry weather allows the fruit to ripen gradually and slowly resulting in a lively, aromatic wine with notes of apples, pears and Turkish Delight...lush!

• Every time I travel overseas, people are always asking me for Marlborough Pinot Gris. They tell me that they love Sauvignon Blanc and that it would be awesome to try more NZ white wine.
• Naked were hugely supportive in allowing me to venture beyond Sauvignon Blanc. They knew I had some pedigree with SB and backed me 110% to create a knockout Pinot Gris.
• Pinot Gris is such a wonderful grape to work with when it's fully ripe. This was definitely the case in 2017! The wine is really rich and quite plush. Exotic aromatics with pear and spice lead the charge, it's almost like it has been infused with rose petal, poached pear and nectarine.

• In an effort to produce a crisp, elegant style of Pinot Gris, grapes were harvested at a fairly low sugar degree, ensuring a moderate alcohol level of 12.5% and lively natural acidity. 
• The trick to allowing the delicate flavours of Pinot Gris to reveal themselves is gentle handling of fruit, careful racking to ensure clear juice, and a cool fermentation temperature. Some time on lees after the end of fermentation has resulted in a wine that displays not only fresh, limey fruit character, but has palate weight too.
• Crystalline in appearance with a light green hue, this wine has a nose displaying lively citrus notes and a granny smith apple-sherbert character. The palate has freshness and lively acidity, yet retains a certain weight and fullness that provides length to the finish

• Pinot Gris has been grown in the Pfalz region for some time. I love Pinot Gris as a wine… it is literally a Pinot Noir with no colour. It can be just as complex, and the finest examples are quite challenging to make.
• I wanted to make a fresher style of Pinot Gris which still has richness, texture and a sense of place. To do this I selected 3 vineyard sites (hence the *3*) for the project. The different vineyards all contribute to the complexity of the wine. 
• The outcome is something pretty special. Succulent ripe fruity flavours of apple, melon and pear with a rich textural quality and a fresh crisp finish.

Gerd, Winemaker

• We tasted 60 Pinot Grigios in a blind tasting, and this little beauty came out on top. So we bought it. Lots of it. Which also means it's ultra affordable for you.
• Taste this crisp and refreshing drop alongside a bland, mass-produced Italian Pinot Grigio and it seems like a different grape entirely. Fantastic with food, but utterly gorgeous all on its lonesome.
• Alessandro makes his Pinot Grigio at a big winery (by Naked standards)... but it's lavished with his personal love and attention from start-to-finish - and it's exclusive to Angels.
