Odyssey Marlborough Pinot Gris 2025

Odyssey's Marlborough Pinot Gris is a single-vineyard, certified organic wine from the Brancott Valley, fermented in stainless steel then rested on lees in seasoned oak barriques to develop texture alongside the ripe stone-fruit character.

Single Vineyard | Certified Organic | Food-Friendly

Tasting Notes

Beautifully ripe and inviting, showing peach, rockmelon, fresh pear and blossom aromas on the nose. The palate is succulent, smooth and lingering, well-proportioned and attractively expressed, making it delightfully drinkable.

A generously textured Marlborough Pinot Gris with certified organic credentials, combining ripe stone fruit with a creamy, lingering palate.

Why you'll love it: Pinot Gris fans who want more texture and weight than a Sauvignon Blanc, without crossing into full Chardonnay territory, will find this sits perfectly in the middle. Pairs broadly with food.

Reviews

93 points, Sam Kim, Wine Orbit (Oct 2025): "Charming and elegantly fragrant with aromas of poached pear, rockmelon, apricot, and florals. It's succulent and fleshy in the mouth, delivering a beautifully rounded mouthfeel backed by fine acidity, offering delightful drinking."

The Vineyard

Grown at the top of Marlborough's Brancott Valley on Odyssey's certified organic vineyard. Handpicked fruit is fermented in stainless steel and then transferred to seasoned oak barriques to rest on lees for a year, building subtle texture and complexity without masking the varietal fruit character.
