Pinot Gris made in a popular style. |
| Tasting Notes |
|
Lifted fragrant nose shows dried banana, pears, quince and a hint of bush honey. In the mouth these flavours are all there in a fruit salad, joined by apricot, peach and fresh citrus acidity. The front palate has an unctuous and creamy texture, and this weight follows through on the midpalate, finishing with a hint of spice. Plenty of fruit appeal and with the texture to be enjoyable on its own or would also partner well with white meats and seafood, or aromatic Asian influenced food. |
| Winemakers Notes |
The fruit for this wine was sourced from a single vineyard site located on the Waimea Plains. It is 100% hand-picked Pinot gris, with an average harvest Brix of 23.4º.
The grapes were crushed and destemmed, juice oxidation carefully avoided and the clear juice cool fermented in stainless steel to retain primary fruit character. The ferment was stopped retaining 6g residual sugar to give an off dry style.
Aged on lees with stirring for around 3 months following fermentation, to enhance the texture and weight. There was no malolactic fermentation or oak influence.
