Region: MARLBOROUGH

Grape variety: PINOT GRIS

Most of the fruit was hand-picked and whole cluster pressed. The clear juice was fermented at very low temperature with selected yeast strains to preserve the inherent fruit flavours. After fermentation, the wine was regularly stirred on the yeast lees to aid the creamy texture and mouth feel.

Colour / Appearance: Mid-straw with bright clarity.

Aroma / Bouquet: Lifted aromas of almonds, pear, quince and spice.

Palate: The palate is rich and full-bodied with a soft, mouth filling texture. Flavours of pear, quince and stonefruit lead to an elegant, long and cleansing finish.

Cellaring: The wine has lovely balance and can be enjoyed immediately. We believe after cellaring for a year or two the Pinot Gris will gain additional texture and complexity to augment the varietal characters exhibited by the wine now.

Food Match: This Pinot Gris is made to be enjoyed with food. We recommend dishes featuring richer seafoods, mushrooms, light game and poultry.
