Villa Maria Private Bin East Coast Pinot Gris 2022

Description

• Dry style
• Ripe pear & apple
• Floral blossom
• Rich mouthfeel

This Pinot Gris has fresh and inviting aromas of ripe pear, crunchy red apple and floral blossoms, leading to a rich and delicately balanced mouthfeel with a delicious dry finish.

This wine is blended from different vineyard sites across several key regions. Marlborough and Waipara bring vibrant floral aromatics and fresh acidity with Gisborne and Hawkes Bay providing ripe tree fruit characters with generosity of flavour. Fruit is gently pressed, then the juice is settled and clarified prior to cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks with selected aromatic yeast strains. A brief period of yeast lees ageing follows prior to blending and preparation for bottling.

Food Pairing: Perfect for a diverse range of cuisine, ideally suited to seafood, soft cheeses, salads and white meats.
