Saint Clair James Sinclair Marlborough Pinot Gris 2023

Description

Dry, Pear, Spice

Pale lemon. Pure aromas of fresh white pear with delicate spice notes. Elegant and opulent with crisp ripe pear, pastry and subtle savoury characters. The palate is textural and structured with a dry and refreshing finish. Drinking well now, this wine will increase in opulence and complexity over at least the next three years.

The fruit was sourced from a selection of vineyards predominantly in Marlborough’s Awatere Valley and harvested at optimum flavour ripeness.  The free-run juice was drained from the press and cold settled before a cool fermentation in stainless steel to retain the varietal aromas. The parcels of wine were selected by the winemakers and blended, then stabilized and carefully prepared for bottling.

Food Pairing: This wine is perfectly paired with soft ripe cheeses or spring rolls with a lightly spiced dipping sauce.
