Rod Easthope Hawkes Bay Pinot Gris Boxed Wine 2022
About the wine
A bumper box of Rod's bestselling vibrant and zesty Pinot Gris with serious attitude
-
Rod is our man on the ground in Hawke's Bay and he's a dab hand at bringing Angels mouthwateringly good wines that top our favourites chart year after year. His Pinot Gris is no different.
-
It’s lively, vibrant and full of tropical fruit flavours, with a zingy finish. When you first taste it, you won’t be expecting this level of intensity. He’s managed to squeeze so much into each mouthful. It’s classy, complex, and brimming with wow-factor.
-
And you’ve got three bottles’ worth of this exquisitely fresh and fruity white to see you through Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year’s celebrations
Best before
It doesn't require any ageing. But it will provide enjoyable drinking over the next three years.
Serving advice
1- Lay the box flat and with the perforated opening (circle) facing upwards
2 - Break and lift up the perforated flap and remove circular partition
3 - Gently pull the tap through the opening and position it in the perforated hole. Secure in position with the flap
4 - To pour, stand up the box and activate the flap. Pour directly in the glass or in a Decanter/ Carafe.
Wine will stay fresh 6 weeks after opening.
Food match
Soups go well. But this is a versatile wine with food. A simple bowl of your favourite salty nibbles is also a great pairing.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Rod Easthope
- Rod downed tools at one of New Zealand's most iconic wineries, to set-up-shop alone, and luckily for us, he knows the whereabouts of the very best grapes that Hawke's Bay and Central Otago have to offer.
- He has rave reviews from journalists, wines dripping in medals and oodles of Parker Points under his belt, and thanks to Angel funding and backing, he's now making wines exclusively for you.
- Using his prize fund from being crowned your Winemaker of the Year 2014, Rod was able to add a stunning Gisborne Chardonnay to his range. Years on and his wines never fail to impress - they don’t call him Rod the God for nothing.
