3 x Spy Valley Marlborough Pinot Gris 2017

Awarded 18.5/20 Points: Raymond Chan, May 2018

"Elegant and well-proportioned with fragrant aromas of white and yellow stonefruits entwined with exotic florals, a hint of honeysuckle and a suggestion of musk. The aromatics form a well-concentrated heart and the nose builds in intensity and penetration with aeration. Medium-dry to taste and medium-full bodied, the palate has a positive and deeply packed core with flavours of yellow stonefruits and exotic florals, along with nuances of honeysuckle, nutty lees elements and a little musk.  The fruit possesses aromatic detail and interest, with good linearity. The mouthfeel is rounded with balanced, integrated acidity, and the wine is smooth-flowing with some underlying phenolics, power and drive, leading to a rounded, long-lingering finish. Serve with Middle Eastern and Asian cuisine over the next 3+ years" Raymond Chan, May 2018

Fruit aromas of quince, lemon, white peach and mango, with a suggestion of ginger and nougat. A powerful wine with concentrated fruit at its core. The natural acid balance is soft lending the wine a full-bodied, long and dry structure.

Grapes grew on open canopies with high bunch exposure to sunlight, as Marlborough has the highest sunshine hours in NZ. The result of all of this beautiful sunshine is a a full bodied wine with mouth-filling grip and richness.

Harvesting was entirely hand-picked over four passes before grapes were whole bunch pressed for gentle juice extraction. Perfect for cellering, this concentrated wine will reward patience and optimum drinking will be 3-7 years from vintage date.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with Asian inspired cuisine.

AWARDED SILVER MEDAL: Decanter World Wine Awards, 2018

This Riesling is the product of an aromatic fanatic! Wine Maker Paul Bourgeois, loves to make Riesling. This Riesling is a dry style much like Paul’s sense of humour and offers aromas of ginger loaf, apricot, fig and citrus. The palate -as mentioned- is dry in style with intense lemon-curd, a little spice and a rich yeasty influence. A dry, crisp, limey finish.

The grapes were hand picked over seven separate passes with 50% of the fruit having extended skin contact before gentle pressing. Long natural ferments in oak and stainless steel vessels, on full lees for seven months prior to blending. For cellering, Riesling's loves age, and this wine is no different peaking between 3 - 7 years after harvest.

Food Pairing: This Riesling is a dry style much like Paul the winemaker's sense of humour and is a fantastic pairing with seafood or poultry.
