Brookfields Robertson Hawke's Bay Pinot Gris 2022
An excellent universal food wine
An excellent universal food wine
Description
- Dry style
- Nashi pear
- Lychee & ginger
- Long
The Robertson Pinot Gris has classic Nashi pear, white peach and lychee with a touch of ginger. The palate has good length, thus endorsing its universality as a wine. It is made in a nearly dry style, hence it is an excellent food wine.
Most of the grapes come from Ohiti Estate, which is situated in an inland heat trap on the bed of the old Ngaruroro River. Trained on classical VSP trellis system, on arid alluvial soils, the Pinot Gris ripens well, producing clean fruit with full flavours, good extract, and moderate acid.
On arrival at the winery, the fruit was pressed as soon as possible. The skin of Pinot Gris is coloured and will tint the wine. The free run was kept separate from the pressings. After overnight cold settling, the clear juice was inoculated with an aromatic yeast strain, and fermented at cool temperatures. Following completion of fermentation, the wine remained on its gross lees for texture and flavour enhancement, with weekly lees stirring.
Food Pairing: salt & pepper squid, chicken risotto or varied Asian dishes.
