Description
With the Devil's Staircase Pinot Gris everything is pleasure, spiced up with a bit of naughty. The unrelenting Central Otago environment tortures the vines whose twisted limbs produce a wine worthy of absolution but sinfully succulent and devilishly good. Offering a bouquet of nashi pears, ginger and lemon zest and a full palate of lush fruits with honeydew and nectar haracters.
Rockburn vinyards dedicate themselves to producing superior wines, reflecting the superb regional character and pure expression of Central Otago in your glass! Devil's Stair Case Pinot Gris is no exception to this rule, with the grapes expertly grown at Dean Stevinson’s Lakeview Vineyard, on the shores of Lake Dustan, overseen by Rockburn Viticulturist Brett Duffy of Shamrock Ltd. The terroir's winding road leading from Queenstown to Kingston along the shores of Lake Wakatipu even gave the inspiration to this wine's name.
The grapes were handpicked and produced by multi-award-winning winemaker, Malcolm Rees-Francis who says “Central Otago is a great place to grow Pinot Gris with the cool nights maintaining acidity and bright fruit flavours, and bright sunshine encouraging textural components in the skins.”
Cellaring potential up to 1-4 years.
Food Pairing: Pair those succulent lush fruit flavours with Asian inspired fresh seafood or pork dishes for a turly wickedly, devine taste sensation.
