The 2022 Pinot Gris was grown in the Moteo district of Hawke’s Bay. Characterised by limestone, these ancient river terraces are perfect for aromatic white varieties such as Pinot Gris.

Harvested and pressed cold to minimise juice phenolics. Settled then racked with light solids, fermented at cool temperatures to retain freshness and aromatics, while developing texture. Un-fined but filtered before bottling

Wildsong wines are uncomplicated and grounded with a gentle tale or two to tell of the soil they were grown in and the people who made them. Grown with respect, made with heart and packed with attitude. There’s a little Wildsong in each of us.
