Matawhero's Pinot Gris has aromas of pear, almonds and beeswax. On the palate, notes of pear, honeysuckle and spices combine for a luscious taste sensation. The Matawhero journey started with two New Zealand wine pioneers from the 1960s. Today, the story continues with Kirsten and Richard Searle, who purchased the Matawhero vineyard and winery in Gisborne from Denis in 2008. They are the guardians of Matawhero and continue to develop the iconic winery, sharing the distinctive wine styles of the Tairawhiti-Gisborne region.
