98 Points & Double Gold Medal - New Zealand International Wine Show 2025

Shaky Bridge's top Artisan Reserve Pinot Gris is beautifully fruited and elegantly fragrant, the bouquet shows white fleshy stone fruit, poached pear, rockmelon and white floral aromas, followed by a succulent palate delivering fleshy texture and juicy acidity. The wine is attractively composed and highly enjoyable.

This Pinot Gris is a 'Grand Cru' attempt from a top quality Central Otago single-vineyard in
Alexandra. With a great finish to the growing season, the wine achieved optimal ripeness
which allowed for great aromatics, certainly taking it out of the neutral spectrum. The cold
nights retained acidity to give it balance and freshness. At its best from now to 2030!

"Stylish and gorgeously expressed, the elegant bouquet shows poached pear, rockmelon, apricot, and subtle spice aromas. The palate displays excellent weight and plush texture, beautifully framed by bright acidity, finishing long and satisfying." - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
