Tiki Pinot Gris

Textured, Fresh, and Elegantly Cool-Climate.
Tiki Pinot Gris is a beautifully balanced expression of North Canterbury, a region celebrated for its cool climate, limestone-rich soils, and wines defined by natural freshness and precision. This environment allows Pinot Gris to develop flavour and texture slowly, resulting in a wine that feels composed, refined, and quietly expressive rather than overt or heavy.

In the glass, this Pinot Gris shows ripe orchard fruit — pear, apple, and white peach — layered with subtle citrus notes and a gentle floral lift. The palate is softly rounded yet vibrant, with a pleasing sense of weight balanced by crisp acidity and a delicate mineral thread. There’s an elegance here that reflects both thoughtful winemaking and the cooler conditions of North Canterbury, giving the wine clarity, balance, and a lingering, refined finish.

For wine lovers in Ireland seeking a Pinot Gris with finesse rather than sweetness, Tiki offers a versatile and food-friendly style that works beautifully from aperitif to table. Calm, confident, and well-crafted, it’s an excellent expression of New Zealand Pinot Gris beyond the familiar regions.

Why we love it:
We love this Pinot Gris for its balance of texture and freshness. It’s gently rounded without being heavy, expressive without being loud, and finishes clean and composed. A quietly elegant white that suits both relaxed sipping and thoughtful food pairing.
