Wine Notes
Winemaker Notes:
Our South Island Pinot Gris was harvested
throughout the first two weeks in April. Starting with Marlborough on the 4th and finishing in the Waipara Valley on the 14th. Once harvested the grapes were transported to the winery, gently pressed and settled in tank. The warm fermentation started with a handful of selected yeast strains. After the completion of ferment the wine was left to mature on full lees for up to three months to enhance structure and mouth feel. After blending the wine was fined using natural methods and prepared for bottling.

Viticulture Notes:
Our vineyards throughout the South Island were blessed with an exceptional year in 2011 for Pinot Gris. All regions saw bud break in late September followed by a warm spring without frost. Adequate rainfall and warm temperatures meant the shoots grew quickly and flower was earlier than normal. After January the season cooled which allowed for an extended ripening period.
