Allan Scott Marlborough Pinot Gris 2020

Description

• Dry style
• Ripe pear
• Juicy acidity
• Subtle stone fruit

"Delicately luscious and off-dry pinot gris with pear, apple and subtle floral and honeysuckle flavours. Smooth-textured wine with a hint of sweetness. Very good value at this price" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Oct 2020

With aromas of red apple, ripe pear and hints of stone fruit. This Pinot Gris had a short spell of skin contact to enhance colour and flavour. Soft entry with good length and nice juicy acidity. Highly drinkable now and will accompany a broad range of cuisine. Vegan friendly.

Harvest 2020 was unpredictable. Right at the start, we had the CV-19 lockdown introduced, so we had to adapt to the newest ways. Once all systems in place, we went out all harvesters shaking and picked all our fruit. In hindsight, after seeing what fruit came in, it has been a super harvest. There were great sunshine hours, no severe frost, low disease pressure, light crops, and ripe fruit, all come together to produce some outstanding fruit and in turn some great wines.
