More details for this wine
| Variety | Pinot Gris |
|---|---|
| Vintage | 2020 |
| Size | 750ml |
| Alcohol | 9.0% |
| Residual Sugar | 16.0g/L |
| Acid | 9.20g/L |
| Food Pairing | Try it accompanied with a fresh salad of rocket, pear and blue cheese. |
| Notes | After early harvest the fruit was pressed before the juice was pumped into tank for fermentation. Yeasts specially selected to add texture and aromatics were used to prompt the ferment. During fermentation sugars are converted to alcohol and as this fruit was picked when it was naturally lower in sugar it created a wine with a lower alcohol. Winemakers stopped the ferment at the precise time the balance of flavour and classic Marlborough acidity was achieved, creating a full-flavoured, lighter in alcohol wine. Pinot Gris Fruit was sourced from a single vineyard in the Awatere Valley in Marlborough. This vineyard has a stoney soil profile that allows drainage which helps with early flavour development in the fruit and slower ripening because of cooler nights. This helps retain freshness and vibrancy in the fruit, but low in sugar content. Delicate pear blossom aromatics with sweet spice. The palate is light yet textural, with flavours of quince paste and papaya. |
