Mystery Creek Wines is a small vineyard located 10km south of Hamilton, New Zealand. With grapes from Clevedon (South Auckland) this pale straw coloured wine has very little to the nose and is actually reminiscent of a European white wine (a Chablis perhaps). To taste it blind, I think I would have picked it as an un-oaked Chardonnay. It was not at all what I was expecting for a Pinot Gris from this region, and whilst it does not taste like it has been done to the traditional Pinot Gris style it is in fact quite enjoyable. It has a nice mouth feel, that is not gluggy but has a nice warmth.
Drinking well now.
