Lake Hayes Central Otago Pinot Gris 2021

Description

• Off-dry style
• Red apple & pear
• Honey dew melon
• Balanced acidity

Juicy and succulent Pinot Gris with flinty lifted aromatics, crunchy red apple, pear, honey dew melon, and balanced acidity and fruit sweetness.

Sourced from long term growers in Alexandra and Lake Hayes. These late-ripening vineyards provide fruit that retains purity alongside a bright acidity.

Once picked, the grapes were immediately brought to the winery for pressing. The juice was settled, racked and fermented with a variety of cool fermenting yeast. Once finished, the wine was blended and rested on fine lees for 3 months prior to bottling.

Lake Hayes wines reflect the land they’re grown from. Grapes are carefully selected from vineyards across Central Otago’s best growing areas and made in an early drinking style with a fresh, fruity appeal. With a style of winemaking that allows the fruit to express itself from vintage to vintage, Lake Hayes wines are young and lively, yet balanced and sophisticated.
