Saint Clair Vicar's Choice Marlborough Pinot Gris 2017

Description

Pale gold in the glass with aromas of juicy pear and spring flowers. The palate has the silky texture of crème anglaise, with flavours of ripe pear and fresh stonefruit. This wine has a luscious mouthfeel, subtle mineral note and an off dry finish.

The fruit was harvested at optimum ripeness from a selection of vineyards in Marlborough’s Wairau and Awatere Valleys. After pressing and cold settling the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to enhance the purity of varietal flavours. 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. Released ready to drink, this wine will be at its best over the next three to four years

Food Pairing: A lovely aperitif wine or fabulous with pork dishes.
