Description
"Bright, light straw-yellow colour with slight lemon-green and golden hues. The nose is very fresh, tight and light in expression, showing mineral-edged aromas of white and yellow stonefruits. This is clean and fruit-focussed with thirst-quenching wet stone elements unfolding. Dryish to taste and medium-full bodied, this has good depth of yellow stonefruit flavours providing the palate with a rounded core, weight and presence. Some dry phenolic textures emerge and along with fresh acidity carry the wine with positive drive. Nuances of honeysuckle and florals emerge and are carried to an off-dry, moderately sustained finish. This off-dry Pinot Gris has some weighty stonefruit flavours, and a dry-textured, lively mouthfeel. Serve as an aperitif and with seafood over the next 2 years. Hand-picked Alexandra fruit fermented to 13.5% alc" Raymond Chan, Nov 2015
The wine was hand harvested in late April and fermented in stainless steel with a portion aged in barrel and lees stirred for added complexity. It exurbs apricot and peach along with pear and a hint of floral spice. A gorgeous succulent palate, medium dry, bright, clean and a good line of acidity extending the length of flavour with a silky texture.
