Description
"Beautifully fruited and attractively expressed, the bouquet shows baked pear, golden peach, feijoa and floral characters with subtle spicy complexity. The palate is succulent and fleshy, displaying excellent fruit weight and silky texture, wonderfully complemented by juicy acidity. Style: Off-dry. At its best: now to 2019" Sam Kim, June 2018.
"Medium-dry, flavoursome pinot gris with apple, pear and tree fruits, plus a hint of mango and honey that suggests a subtle botrytis influence. A gently luscious wine that would make a great aperitif and a good accompaniment to moderately spicy dishes" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Reviews, August 2017
The wine displays lovely delicate floral Pinot Gris characters of fresh citrus, white pear and hints of honeysuckle and spice. The palate is textured and mouth-filling finishing with an excellent richness. Best enjoyed young.
The fruit was harvested mid-April at optimum ripeness then lightly pressed to tank. Cultured yeast strains and cool fermentation techniques in tank have helped preserve this wine's natural fruit flavours. Some residual sugar was left to balance the final blend. Post fermentation, the wine was left on yeast lees with occasional lees stirring to help build the desired texture and richness on the palate. Gentle fining and careful filtration followed before bottling.
