This wine was labelled for our German distributor, but Covid kinda got in the way of them taking it... which means a great price for you.
Delightfully aromatic with fresh royal gala apple and hints of ginger, candyfloss, guava and melon. The weighty palate is lively and juicy with fresh red apple, ripe Taylor's Gold pear, and rock melon, with a nice bright sweetness in the finish.
Vegan friendly.
Review: "Attractively ripe and elegantly fragrant with peach, pear, fig and subtle floral aromas, it's smooth and rounded in the mouth delivering bright fruit flavours together with juicy acidity, making it tasty and easy to enjoy - 4.5 stars." - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Tasting Notes
Aroma | Delightfully aromatic with fresh royal gala apple and hints of ginger, candyfloss, guava and melon. |
Palate | The weighty palate is lively and juicy with fresh red apple, ripe Taylor's Gold pear, and rock melon, with a nice bright sweetness in the finish. |
Food Match | A food-friendly style – an ideal companion to chicken and fish dishes, or enjoy with your favourite soft cheese. |
Viticulture | Ōhau vineyard is perfect for cool climate wine production. Our long growing season and cool nights provide ideal conditions for flavour development. An open canopy with good fruit exposure ensures full ripeness. |
Winemaking | With pinot gris it’s important to maintain a good balance between acidity, alcohol and residual sugar, and to optimise the aromatic qualities from the vineyard. To do this, we are gentle with the fruit, fermenting the wine slowly to capture the aromatics and leave a residual sugar that adds to – but doesn’t dominate – the wine. Aromatic yeasts accentuate the vineyards natural exuberance whilst also preserving freshness and vitality. Fermented in stainless steel vats, and prepared for bottling in December 2021. |
