Skin fermented for texture and complexity, this pinot gris offers intense pear and ripe red apple and spice on the palate. The Not the Norm range is for wines we may not make every year - in this case, a delightful skin-fermented pinot gris.

Vegan friendly.

Reviews

"Elegant and complex, the bouquet shows ripe peach, poached pear, clove and dried flower notes, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate delivering excellent power and richly textured mouthfeel. It's splendidly structured by fine-grained tannins, finishing impressively long and delicately drying. 5 stars." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

 

Tasting Notes

Aroma Delightfully aromatic, with ginger, rose petals, cardamom, gala apple, and a touch of struck rock.
Palate Splendidly structured by fine-grained tannins, finishing impressively long and delicately drying. Intense pear and ripe red apple, luscious, crunchy nashi pear, fresh ginger, quite rich and spicy.
Food Match Equally well-matched with light summer salads and whatever you've thrown on the bbq.
Viticulture Ōhau vineyard is perfect for cool climate wine production. Late, dry autumns provide cool nights ideal for the slow flavour development during the ripening of the fruit.
Winemaking Preserving the vibrant flavours from the vineyard is at the core of our winemaking. Skins ferments, especially for pinot gris are on the rise, and winemaker Jane Cooper was keen to experiment with that style on our aromatic, fruity grapes. This skins pinot gris was crushed direct to an open top fermenter, fermented at very cold temps with an aromatic yeast (X16, 7-8C), with a total skins time of approx. 16 days. It was then pressed and stop fermented to retain some natural sweetness.
Alc/Vol 12.5%
