In stock
The delicious expression of Central Otago Pinot Gris from one of the region's experts. Matt Connell sources this wine from a superb single vineyard in Lowburn, where the slow-ripening conditions allow him to produce a classic Central Otago style. A lush and detailed fruit richness is balanced by fresh, clean mineral acidity. A great Gris for any palate.

Its Origins

Matt Connell and his wife Beth have been involved in the wine industry since 2000 and Matt Connell Wines is a culmination of the experience gained throughout their lives. Matt had many years in hospitality management developing his palate. He made the leap and earned a Postgraduate Diploma of Viticulture and Oenology before making a personal quest to work and learn alongside some of the best winemakers in the industry here and overseas. In the meantime, Beth was learning the business side of the industry with a Postgraduate Diploma of Horticulture Management from Lincoln and working as a Management Accountant for many different wineries. The energy behind Matt Connell Wines is the relationships we have with everyone involved with our business, especially our growers and our customers. Being a smaller wine company enables the flexibility to do business differently, from the wine styles we create, our label design, limited quantities, and the line in the sand we draw for the appropriate timing of vintage releases.
