A+ Marlborough Pinot Gris

This luscious Pinot Gris has jasmine and nashi pear aromas, fig, pear, and spice on the palate, and a sensuous texture with great length and a dry finish. Divinely matched with a pear, fig and goat cheese salad or an Asian curry. The fruit was predominantly sourced from our Wairau Valley Estate vineyard with a small parcel from our Casey?s Road vineyard at Blind River. The grapes were gently pressed with the pressings treated separately before being returned to the free run. The cloudy juice was cold settled for approximately 48 hours. The clear juice was then racked to tanks. The tanks were warmed and inoculated with two yeasts chosen for their ability to enhance varietal characters and the texture of the wine.
