Description
"Offering elegance and charm, the wine shows white flesh nectarine, poached pear, mandarin and apple blossom aromas on the nose, leading to a succulent palate that is beautifully rounded and smooth. It is juicy and refreshing with a lengthy silky finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2019
This is a full bodied and medium dry style Pinot Gris with flavours of peach, citrus, pear, baked apple and honey. Complex, well rounded and food friendly this is a classic Hawkes Bay style.
The fruit for this Pinot Gris was sourced from a inland vineyard. The stony soils and cooler night time temperatures have provided the wine with lifted aromatics and crisp acidity. The vineyards are intensively managed with shoot thinning, leaf plucking and bunch removal as standard practice.
The fruit was quickly delivered and lightly pressed to avoid colour pick up from the skins. The juice was run to both tank and older oak barriques for fermentation with a mix of cultured and wild yeasts. Once the fermentation was complete the wines were left on yeast lees with regular stirring to add body and richness to the finished wine.
Food Pairing: Enjoy on its own or with most seafood dishes. Also pairs beautifully with pork and other white meats.
