Description

"This wine has all the verve and raciness you’d expect from a Central Otago Pinot Gris. There is an attractive fullness to the texture, while lively citrus and green apple flavours are given lift by fresh acidity. It resolves well with a tight finish" Cuisine Magazine 2017

A dry style Mystery wine with stone fruit aromatics, a creamy mouthfilling palate and a persistent finish, and showing some desireable aged characters.

An excellent dry season resulted in small compact bunches. This low-cropping Pinot Gris was crop thinned to remove all shoulders and unwanted bunches to enhance varietal flavour and concentration.

The fruit for this Mystery wine was hand harvested on the 8th of April 2015, gently whole bunch pressed into a stainless steel tank. Subsequently coolly fermted to preserve varietal character and vibrancy. The fermentation was stopped at 7 grams / Litre of residual sugar to enhance palate weight but also to balance acidity.

Food Pairing: The strong stone fruit and spicy character allows the wine to match with a wide variety of international foods. Try with moderately spiced Asian food, German Schnitzel and shellfish or grilled eel.
