It won\u2019t be bottled &#8211; yet. The plan is for the team at The Landing to experiment, and at some point in the future have a white blend wine to offer alongside the existing Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. Crops from the newly-established lower slopes, this is the inaugural harvest of Albari\u00f1o and Fiano, and a small amount of Pinot Gris has been added in this edition.<\/p><p>Known for making crisp and dry whites &#8211; Albari\u00f1o from Galicia, Spain; and Fiano from Campania, or Alto Adige in Italy are both fantastic food-friendly varietals. If you think our local oysters are good with a Sav Blanc, then wait until you try seafood with these two. The Pinot Gris adds weight to the palate, and a touch of texture and complexity. The grapes were whole bunch pressed and then barrel fermented in seasoned barriques. Put through full malolactic ferment, and then unfined and unfiltered before heading into a keg and down to Auckland.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c5e7092 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c5e7092\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f61b668\" data-id=\"f61b668\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1bddb04 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1bddb04\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"980\" src=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Kingi-White-v1-768x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-12914\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Kingi-White-v1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Kingi-White-v1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Kingi-White-v1.jpeg 950w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4b0b562\" data-id=\"4b0b562\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4d8b63 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e4d8b63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A pale green and gold in the glass.
