Producer

Mt Difficulty wines are named after the mountain that overlooks the winery and protecting the Bannockburn sub region of Otago from the cold weather. All of Mt Difficulty wines are sourced from Bannockburn, south of the Kawarau River

Grape varieties

Pinot Gris

Style

Zingy, fresh, fruity Sauvignon Blanc style wines. High on acidity, big on flavour.
Can be either full of gooseberries, green apples, grassy aromas or more subtle, tropical passion fruit flavours.
The New Zealand style tends to be more intense than the mineral, stony style you’ll find in Sancerre & Pouilly Fume – the home of the Sauvignon Blanc grape in Loire, France. Look out for Chilean Sav Blancs for good value for money.
