More About Esk Valley Pinot Gris

A richly styled Pinot Gris from Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, balancing ripe fruit with freshness and texture. Sourced from warm inland vineyards on gravel terraces, a portion is fermented in seasoned oak and aged on lees to build weight and complexity.

Aromatic and generous, it shows pear, peach and citrus layered with honey and gentle spice. The palate is rounded and mouth-filling, with a touch of residual sugar balancing bright acidity and a smooth, lightly creamy finish.

Meet the Producer, Esk Valley

Esk Valley

Style: Winery

Esk Valley has quietly become one of New Zealand’s most respected wineries by focusing less on flashy branding and more on making seriously good wine from some of the country’s best vineyard sites. Based in Hawke’s Bay, the winery has built a huge reputation for richly textured Chardonnay, powerful Syrah and Bordeaux-style reds that show a more savoury, structured side of New Zealand wine beyond the endless tidal wave of Sauvignon Blanc.

Founded in the 1930s, Esk Valley remains closely tied to Hawke’s Bay’s warm climate and gravelly soils, particularly the famous Gimblett Gravels region. Those conditions allow the winery to produce wines with ripe fruit, spice and concentration while still maintaining freshness and balance underneath. The reds especially carry loads of dark berry fruit, pepper, cocoa and earthy complexity without drifting into jammy heaviness.

The winery’s Chardonnay has also become something of a cult favourite among wine nerds, often using wild fermentation and barrel ageing to build texture and savoury depth alongside the bright stone fruit and citrus character. Rich without becoming clumsy basically, which is harder than some wineries make it look.

Esk Valley also keeps a strong connection to traditional winemaking techniques, including minimal intervention and gentle handling in the cellar. That philosophy helps preserve vineyard character rather than polishing everything into anonymous international wine.
