Whalebone Bay Marlborough Pinot Gris 2021

Description

• Dry style
• Ripe peach & citrus
• Tropical fruit
• Mouth-filling

An elegant nose of ripe peach, and passionfruit with hints of spice. Medium bodied with flavours of pear, ripe citrus and tropical fruit. Mouth filling and smooth with lively acids, minerals and a rich waxy mouthfeel and dry finish that lingers.

The fruit was harvested at optimum ripeness from a selection of vineyards, predominantly Wairau and Awatere Valley regions of Marlborough. The grapes were carefully monitored during maturity to ensure they were harvested at the peak of flavour development and ripeness.

Once at the winery, the fruit was pressed and cold settled. The juice was then fermented in stainless steel at cold temperatures to preserve purity of flavour.

Food Pairing: This Pinot Gris is terrific as an aperitif.
