Description
"Stylish and complex, the wine shows poached pear, subtle spice, citrus peel and floral aromas, leading to a succulent palate that's fleshy and elegantly flavoursome. Offering finesse with textured mouthfeel, finishing long and savoury. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is softly full, with deep aromas of white blossom, perfume and orchard fruit. Medium-full bodied, aromas of Nashi pear and baked apple entwined with ginger and magnolia. The fruit is pure and elegant; balanced acidity carries ginger spice to a dry, sustained finish. Match with dim sum and baked trout over the next 3 years" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews
The 2020 Pinot Gris has orange blossom, nectarine and rock melon aromatics. A generously textured mouth feel showing brightness, vivacity and drive. The palate finishes with great persistence and a soft mineral elegance.
The grapes were hand harvested and then selected, whole bunch pressed and separated into five different ferments with an indigenous yeast strain. 20% of the wine was barrel fermented and 80% of the wine rested on gross lees for five months with regular stirring to build texture. Each of the ferments were blended together followed by a light fining to soften phenolics, and a sterile filtration, as the wine did not go through malolactic fermentation.
