Wooing – To seek the affection of with intent to romance.

Basically they say that half of Cromwell was conceived under the famous wooing tree in the small Otago town!

And you’ll fall in love with this Central Otago Pinot Gris that oozes class. Wooing Tree are world famous in New Zealand for their amazing Pinot Noir and Beetlejuice Pinot Noir and Blondie (also made from Pinot) – but have you tried their Pinot Gris?

In their own words it’s all “ripe pear, brioche, honeysuckle, white peach, spice and a hint of salted caramel“.

And if that doesn’t get you Gris lovers quivering at the knees, how about Master of Wine Bob Campbell’s 91/100 review? Bob said “Taut, high-energy pinot gris with ginger, caramel, lanolin, pineapple and pear flavours. Smooth-textured wine with moderate intensity and a crisp, dry and lingering finished.”
