Central Otago Pinot Gris "L'atypique" (Orange wine)

Sato's L'atypique is a skin-contact orange wine crafted from Pinot Grigio in Central Otago's Bannockburn subregion. Extended contact with grape skins imparts a distinctive amber hue and layered aromatic profile, moving beyond the varietal's typical white-wine expression.

The wine balances primary stone fruit and honey notes with secondary spice and herbal complexity, while tertiary oxidative development adds minerality and subtle tannin structure. Medium body and medium-high acidity create a food-friendly profile suited to both delicate seafood and aromatic Asian cuisine.
