This Pinot Gris is a rich, textural, opulent wine with a creamy palate from spending extended time ageing on yeast lees. The exotic tropical fruit flavours are framed by a soft, yet balanced acidity and unctuous texture.
VINEYARDS: 100% of the fruit is grown in the cooler, windier Awatere Valley (20% Taylors Pass, 80% Seddon), promoting slower ripening in the autumn weather which helps concentrate Pinot Gris flavours and retain natural acidities.
VINTAGE: A near-perfect growing season led up to 2021 harvest with fruit in pristine condition. The summer was dry with high sunshine hours during the day and the cooler nights that are typical for Marlborough. Yields were at their optimum level and the stable autumn weather allowed us to extend the hangtime of the fruit on the vines to achieve physiological ripeness.
WINEMAKING: After harvesting at night, in order to protect aromatics in the fruit, 20% of the grapes were naturally fermented in the seasoned barriques, and the balance in stainless steel with textural yeast strains. Post-fermentation, the wines were left on lees for 6 months to build palate weight and texture before blending and bottling.
ENJOY WITH
- Grilled and Roasted White Meats
- Fish/Shellfish
- Pizza/Pasta
- Salads and Picnics
- Mild Creamy Cheeses
- Oriental
- Spicy
