Description
"This is full of juicy stone fruit, mandarin and pear flavours with subtle citrus and floral undertones. The palate delivers excellent fruit intensity and silky texture, beautifully enhanced by rounded mouthfeel and refreshing acidity. A real crowd-pleasing style offering loads of tasty flavours. At its best: now to 2018" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2017
"Floral, full-bodied and fleshy wine, grown in the Wairau Valley and partly (15%) barrel-fermented. Stonefruit flavours, showing very good ripeness and depth, and a slightly sweet, finely balanced finish" Winesate Magazine, November/December Issue, 2016
The 2016 vintage of the Grove Mill Pinot Gris is pale straw green in colour and offers intense aromatics to intrigue the senses. Lovely floral characters combine with fresh peach, pear and spice. On the palate, flavours mimic the bouquet with an off-dry style, creamy texture and layers of flavour.
The fruit for our Pinot Gris comes from some of the oldest vineyards in the Wairau Valley known for producing distinctively aromatic white wines. Shallow, rocky, fast-draining soils combined with the warm, dry climate make the region ideal for cultivating complex flavours and bright acidity. The grapes were harvested during the cold of the night to avoid unnecessary phenolic extraction and to preserve primary fruit. Gentle winemaking techniques and cold fermentation (83% stainless steel, 17% old French oak) helped to protect the bright fruit characters. Lees contact after fermentation gave the wine great texture and richness.
