About Mt Difficulty Roaring Meg Pinot Gris 2024 750ML
Mt Difficulty's Roaring Meg Pinot Gris from Central Otago opens with an inviting and fragrant bouquet of ripe white peach, preserved lemon, and delicate rose petal, underpinned by a whisper of fresh ginger and honeysuckle. On the palate, this wine delivers a beautifully textured mid-weight body with generous stone fruit flavours — nectarine and poached pear take centre stage — supported by a lively natural acidity that keeps the wine fresh and focused. A subtle phenolic grip adds complexity and structure, characteristic of the variety at its best. The finish is clean, lingering, and gently spiced, with a pleasing mineral thread that reflects the schist-laden soils of the Cromwell Basin.
