The delicate use of oak and wild ferment creates a succulent, luscious pinot gris - with vibrant pear, summer fruits and spice on the palate. Simply luscious.
Review: "Gorgeously fruited and inviting, the bouquet shows golden peach, poached pear, mango and spice aromas, followed by a succulent palate that is wonderfully weighted and rounded. It is flavoursome and vibrant with a terrific long, delectable finish." - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Tasting Notes
| Aroma | Deliciously aromatic, showing guava, ripe pear, rose petal and floral notes. |
| Palate | Ripe summer fruits, gala apple skin, spice, cardamom, anise. A weighty, rich palate, with a refreshing finish. |
| Food Match | Drinks well with a richly flavoured fish, such as salmon, linguine with cream or roasted chicken. |
| Viticulture | The stony, fertile soils and long warm autumns at Ōhau are ideal for growing grapes. The long growing season and cool nights provide ideal conditions for flavour development, and an open canopy with good fruit exposure ensures full ripeness. The grapes for this wine were the first crop off new vines. |
| Winemaking | Partly oaked, using wild ferment, winemaker Jane Cooper fermented the wine at quite cool temperatures, then clarified and stabilised the wine to enhance the aromatic freshness. Prepared for bottling in June 2019. |
| Alc/Vol | 13.0% |
