Valli Vineyards “The Real McCoy” Orange Wine Pinot Gris (15 Bottles) Central Otago

$784.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED FOR ORDERS OF 15 BOTTLES

The colour of the wine comes from the grape skins and the semi-oxidative handling. The 2019 Real McCoy has a brilliant, peachy/tangerine hue. The nose is laden with stone-fruit aromas (apricot and peach) with lychee, orange blossom and rose petals. On the palate there is almond, Turkish Delight, apricot and cream soda.

The fine tannin gives the wine both depth and length while the fresh acidity sings loudly of the Gibbston. Delicious on its own, the real McCoy invites many opportunities for food pairing including charcuterie platters, pork roast, risotto, grilled salmon, Chinese, Lebanese and Japanese cuisines, hard cheeses and a kiwi classic – fish and chips.

About VALLI

At VALLI, we craft terroir-driven wines from Single Vineyard sites highlighting the different grape-growing regions of Central Otago and the Waitaki Valley on the South Island of New Zealand. While our foundation is Pinot Noir, we also produce wines from Pinot Gris, Riesling, and Chardonnay. Creating expressions of the Otago sub-regions is at the very heart of what we do: wine is simply the medium we employ to do so.

Valli is the creation of pioneering Otago winemaker, Grant Taylor.

Grant’s name is synonymous with Otago Pinot Noir. He has been crafting wines in the region since 1993 when there were only 20 hectares planted – today there are over 2,000. Over the past 27 years he has made the first wines for a number of iconic Otago wineries, but now the serious focus is on his own creation, Valli.

Founded in 1998, Valli produces single vineyard Pinot Noirs highlighting the different characteristics of Otago’s sub regions: Gibbston, Bannockburn and Bendigo in Central Otago and the Waitaki Valley in North Otago. In 2015, established Otago winemaker

Jen Parr joined Grant in the winery where the two aim to create wines with honesty, integrity, and most of all, a sense of place. When you drink a Valli wine, you are enjoying more than just a wine: you are experiencing a place.
