Description
"A very fresh and crisp style with an appealing aromatic blend of soft herbs such as basil and lemongrass with the more lifted notes of nashi pear. The palate has length and intensity with just enough sweetness to add warmth without losing form" Cuisine Magazine 2018
"In 2018, our RUA pinot gris comes from our parcels on both sides of Bannockburn. The Cairnmuir Rd parcel brings ripeness and richness on the palate and the Felton Terraces parcel contributes energy and lively acidity. It's nice to see both vineyards speak their terroir through our RUA pinot gris this year" Winemaker
Pretty, layered nose of citrus blossom, especially mandarin and orange, with ginger spice. Juicy and textural on the palate with bright, dancing acidity.
An exceptionally warm, dry spring and early summer gave unusually high early season growth. Extraordinary January heat brought the whole growing season forward culminating in harvest starting earlier than ever, on March 8th. Late summer brought record high rainfall with relatively cool daytime temperatures. These cooler temperatures kept disease pressure in check and the fruit delivered to the winery by the vineyard crew was in excellent condition.
