Lawson's Dry Hills The Pioneer Marlborough Pinot Gris 2017
Description
- Off dry style
- French oak
- Apple crumble
- Weighty & textural
This single vineyard wine is mid-straw in colour with a slight copper tone. Off dry in style with lifted aromas of juicy pears, red apples and stone fruit. The palate is weighty and textural with flavours of pears, apple crumble and clover honey – a complex wine that is drinking perfectly after some years in bottle.
The fruit for this wine came from just one pick from the Barnsley Block in the Waihopai Valley. Grower Biddy Barnsley pays great attention to the vineyard and particularly to this Pinot Gris. The vines were leaf-plucked and thinned several times to ensure the crop level was low, ensuring both flavour and full ripeness.
The winemaking here was minimalist. The grapes were hand-picked and gently pressed into old French oak barriques for a long and slow fermentation (over six months) with wild yeasts from the vineyard. Once we felt the wine had achieved the perfect balance of sweetness and adicity, the barrels were racked and the wine chilled, filtered and bottled.
Food Pairing: A delicious pairing with flavoursome seafood, poultry, spicy foods, Moroccan and Middle Eastern dishes and many different cheese styles.
