Rapaura Springs Reserve Marlborough Pinot Gris 2017
Rapaura Springs Reserve Marlborough Pinot Gris 2017
Description
The Rapaura Reserve Pinot Gris represents the finest quality from Marlborough. The 2017 Reserve Pinot Gris has concentrated white peach and pear drop aromas, combined with spiced cinnamon, fresh pastry and apple strudel notes. Fleshy and full of tropical melon fruits, crisp pear and yellow peach with a zingy line of grapefruit that carries through on the palate.
The journey of this Rapaura Springs wine begins far from the vineyard, at a point where the earth claims a share of the Wairau River. After a 6 month journey through a rocky aquifer, the water is released to a spring that weaves through our vineyard. This spring, depicted on the label, provides both the crystal clear, pure water for Rapaura vines and guides the philosophy behind the winery.
Once pressed, the juice was fermented in a selection of old oak barrels and stainless steel. A selection of different yeasts allowed both textural qualities to develop in some components and to retain the crisp fruit flavours from the vineyard in others. The resulting wine captures and showcases some of the diverse varietal flavours found in Marlborough’s unique sub-regions. Residual sugar in this wine is 5.3g/l
Food Pairing: A very versatile pairing well to a wide range of white meat and creamy pasta dishes. We recommend trying with roast pork or a chicken cabonara.
