Spy Valley Marlborough Pinot Gris 2023

Description

Apple, Dry, Pear

Red apple and dried pear notes. Flavours of red apple, ginger and cloves. The concentration of fruit shows through with a supple underlying structure that leaves the wine fresh and vibrant on the finish.

An excellent flowering period and consistent rainfall resulted in even crops and healthy canopies. As a result, our start date was later, giving the fruit extra ‘hang time’ to develop more flavours across all varieties.

2 blocks of Pinot Gris were harvested over 2 separate days to capture a range of flavour profiles for our blend. G Block Pinot Gris was fermented in both tank and two of our larger format Oak ovals. C Block Pinot Gris fermented in tank. Fermentation and time on lees before blending has added layers of texture and length of flavour to our Pinot Gris blend.
