Audrey’s Pinot Gris is Clos Ostler’s luminous expression of Waitaki’s limestone terroir. Aromas of poached pear, ginger, white peach, and jasmine invite you in, while the palate balances luscious fruit with a chalky mineral zest that keeps everything taut and refreshing. Half fermented in stainless steel for purity, half in French oak (with a touch of new barrels) for texture, this wine marries vibrancy with richness. Dry in style yet generous in detail, Audrey’s is a graceful partner for dishes like pork belly bao or pan-fried fish, and a showcase of why Waitaki Pinot Gris is turning heads.

Clos Ostler is a boutique estate in New Zealand’s Waitaki Valley, famed for its limestone-rich soils and cool-climate precision. Founded by Jim Jerram and Jeff Sinnott, the winery draws inspiration from Burgundy’s Grand Cru vineyards, crafting wines of striking minerality and elegance. With Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris as its calling cards, Clos Ostler captures the valley’s marginal yet magical terroir—where low-vigour vines yield fruit of remarkable depth, purity, and nuance
