Marlborough Sun Pinot Gris 2023

Description

Apple, Dry, Pear

"Youthful and charming, the elegantly lifted bouquet shows green pear, apricot, Gala apple and floral notes, followed by a brightly expressed palate offering succulent fruit flavours with delicately pitched acidity, finishing refreshing and lingering" Sam Kim, Wine Orbitm Nov 2023

Enticing aromas of ripe pear and subtle spice notes. This wine is crisp and full with layers of fresh yellow pear, baked pastry and honeysuckle blossom. Released and ready to drink, this wine will be at its best over the next two to three years from vintage date.

The fruit was harvested at optimum ripeness from a selection of vineyards in the Marlborough region. After pressing and cold-settling the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to amplify the fruit intensity and freshness. Texture was enhanced by regular lees stirring post fermentation. The individual batches were selected on quality then blended together before balancing and stabilising ready for bottling. 

Food Pairing: Undeniably, Pinot Gris around these parts is pretty desirable and it goes tremendously well with just about any dish including fresh pan seared fish.
