On its track record, this is the finest Gewürztraminer in New Zealand — and GRAD®1 is its only PCR tested and multiple ELISA tested high-health clonal source.
The GRAD 2 clone series of Pinot noir derives from genetic material of extremely high quality and offers a very serious, carefully and systematically selected and locally developed, alternative to the 'Dijon' clones. Like the widely misunderstood and under-rated Abel clone, the GRAD clone series (development of which is now continuing into its third decade) offers more and better than is being achieved, or even, in all likelihood, can be achieved, in New Zealand from almost all of the range of the Bernard Dijon Pinot noir clones.
Simply the best Viognier clone in Australasia for both wine quality and provenance.
