Description
Cancelled Export means Wine Lover Wins! Perfect Pinot Gris Quaffer from quality focused, great all-rounder, NZ family owned producer.
Pale straw. Bright florals and ripe fruits are complemented with spice and stone fruit notes. The wine is off-dry with ripe fruit flavours, rich texture and balanced acidity.
Drinking well now, this wine can be enjoyed until late 2018. Great with white meat, veal, Asian food, and cheeses and dried fruits for dessert.
The grapes for this wine were grown in the Wairau and Awatere Valley’s of Marlborough. A record dry growing season coupled with warm mid-summer temperatures enabled perfect flavor development. We harvested the fruit at night in cool temperatures to preserve the wonderful flavours and aromatics. The grapes were gently pressed and the juice settled prior to fermentation. 10% was fermented in barrel to accentuate texture and complexity in the wine. The remainder was fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to retain the bright, varietal aromatics.

As one would expect from Mount Riley: really nice and well balanced wine. For my taste could be slightly drier (I prefer really dry wines).
