Tasting Notes
| Aroma | Delightfully aromatic with gala apple, guava, pomegranate and a hint of spice. |
| Palate | The juicy palate is vibrant with white peach, fresh red apples, touch of rose petal with a bright, tropical fruit 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. In 2023 the vineyard benefitted from La Niña while most other wine regions were hit by intense cyclonic weather. The fruit going into the winery had very little disease and excellent ripeness, which made for low intervention winemaking and some lovely aromatic wines. |
| 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 November 2023. |
