Roaring Meg is one of Central Otago’s most popular wines and is named, cheekily, after a lady of the night during the infamous gold rush days in this southern region, in the 1800s.
Pinot Gris is the most popular and widely planted white grape in this region, although it pales in comparison to Pinot Noir, which makes up over 80% of the area’s vineyards. Gris is a soft, smooth and approachable white wines, such as this lightly spicy version with a good balance of fresh southern acidity, thanks to the cool climate here.
