Lismore is Ata Rangi's Alsace-influenced Pinot Gris, made from estate vines averaging around 20 years old on the gravelly soils of the Martinborough Terrace. Organically farmed and barrel-fermented in a textural, off-dry style, it shows pear, baked apple, lychee, ginger and baking-spice character with a mineral, wet-stone finish.
Lismore proves Pinot Gris can have real depth — a textured, spice-driven white that rewards a few years in the cellar.
