They were incredibly lucky to be granted permission to create these wines during the global pandemic crisis. For this reason, their 2020 wines carry some very unique memories. The 2020 growing season was very dry, which meant disease pressure was low and some timely light rains kept just enough water flowing in their rivers.
They had a classic Marlborough autumn with warm days and cool nights, which created this season’s wines with their signature fresh natural acidity and intense fruit flavours. The Pinot Gris from this vintage is showing lovely ripe yellow stone fruits, green pear and candied citrus, with a refreshing and balanced palate.
Parcels of Pinot Gris were harvested at optimal ripeness. The fruit was pressed gently, separating the free run juice from the pressings. The juice was cold settled for 48 hours then racked to remove solids. The clear juice underwent a long cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks to capture and enhance the fruit flavours of pear, honey and stone fruit.
Each parcel was fermented separately using a range of selected yeasts. Following fermentation the wine was blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.
Suitable for vegetarians, vegans and a gluten free diet.
