Mud House Marlborough Pinot Gris 2016
Description
A clean, crisp nose of red apple, sweet spice and delicate florals. Delicately juicy and wonderfully mouth coating. The crisp apple notes open the front palate. These primary fruit flavours lead to the perfect blend of soft lingering acidity and gentle sweetness on the finish.
The 2016 vintage started well with warm weather during flowering ensuring a well-blanced crop for Marlborough. The following warm and extended summer allowed the fruit to ripen evenly and created ripe fruit flavours and acid. The grapes were harvested between 21 March to 15 April 2016. Our 2016 wines are approachable with a generous palate.
This wine was sourced from our long established grower vineyards in the Wairau Valley sub-region of Marlborough. Once harvested, the grapes were gently pressed and settled in tank. The warm fermentation started with a handful of selected yeast strains. To add complexity and texture; a portion of the wine was fermented in old French oak barriques. After the completion of fermentation the wine was left to relax on light yeast lees to enhance structure and mouth feel. The wine was blended and lightly fined in July, then bottled in early August.

Simply excellent Pinot Gris, and does not matter that it is labelled 2017, rather 2016 as offered before I placed my order.
