Description

This wine has aromas of quince and ripe nashi pear. A delicious palate with plenty of apple and quince flavours well-balanced by a soft phenolic structure.

Best enjoyed up to 2017 but may be cellared for up to five years from vintage date. Try a lightly spiced Thai Green Chicken Curry or Chicken Tikka Marsala.

The 2015 harvest was a very good one and we picked the fruit in excellent condition in early April. The season provided the large diurnal temperature fluctuations that maximise the varietal flavours of the Pinot Gris grape variety in the Marlborough region.

The fruit was harvested at maximum flavour, pressed very gently to avoid harsh phenolic extraction and the juice was allowed to cold settle and then fermented at low temperatures. Asmall amount of residual sugar was left in the wine to complement the palate weight and structure.
