Description
"Rich, flavoursome pinot gris with apple, nashi pear, lime and citrus flavours. A fresh wine with good purity and palate weight. Pleasingly dry thanks to refreshing acidity. Offers good value at this price" Bob Campbell, Master or Wine, Real Review, 2017
Pale straw in the glass with a bouquet of bright florals with apple and pear notes underscored with a fresh herbal seam with complements of spice. An off-dry wine with ripe fruit flavours, rich texture and balanced acidity.
The grapes for this wine were grown in the Wairau and Awatere Valley’s of Marlborough. A seamless growing season and warm summer temperatures made for the perfect conditions to create mouthwatering flavours in this classic Mount Riley wine. We harvested the fruit during the night in cool temperatures so that the natural flavours and aromatics were preserved. The grapes were gently pressed and the juice settled prior to fermentation. A small percentage was fermented in barrel to accentuate texture and complexity in the wine while the remainder was fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to retain the bright, varietal aromatics. Drinking well now; this wine can be enjoyed until late 2020.
Food Pairing: Charred octopus, cucumber & burnt chilli salsa verde
