Description
GOLD success at the Air NZ Wine Awards 2016 - this would have to be in the top 5 best value NZ Pinot Gris. Crafted by the talented Mount Riley family owned crew, this is bang for buck, count your chickens before they hatch, will not be disappointed kinda stuff. Divine wine at a sublime price!
"Attractive pinot gris in an off-dry style, with delicate pear and apple flavours plus a suggestion of nutty yeast lees character. A silken-textured wine, with just a hint of tannins helping to promote a drying finish" Bob Campbell
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 2020. 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 perfect 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.

NO problem drinking this, feel it still needs a little time and will get better, super value with enough sweetness for the acid balance.
