Momo Marlborough Pinot Gris 2017
Description
Pure and attractive on the palate, with notes of soft white stone-fruit, alied to a savoury warm hay character. The palate is appealing, with layers of orchard fruit, soft white blossoms, mouth-filling rounded texture and a bright refreshing acidity.
2017 was a memorable and challenging vintage. We had a wonderful warm start to the growing season, with good soil moisture helping the vines to grow well. We then experienced cold temperatures during flowering, resulting in lower yields and smaller bunches. The harvest it self was fast and furious, one of the most compact we have ever experienced with challenging rain events just before and during harvest. The resulting wines having strong natural acidity and intense fruit flavours from the colder season.
Certified organic grapes were hand-picked and whole bunch-pressed before being naturally fermented with wild yeast. Aportion was left on skins for 12hours. 30% of the blend was fermented and aged in old French oak barriques for three months to give additional texture and complexity. The remaining 70% was fermented in stainless steel tanks.

I Recommend this wine. It’s not sweet as some Pinot Gris. Very drinkable
