Description

  • Dry style
  • Oaked
  • Pear & peach
  • Ripe tannins

"Bright, pale onion-skin colour, even throughout. This has a soft and youthful bouquet with aromas of ripe pear, baked apple interweave white floral and ginger dusting. Medium-bodied, dry-ish to taste, round and oily mouthfeel carries ripe pear, baked apple melded with citrus peels, unfolding white floral, honey and ginger spice lingering to a long, harmonious finish. The fruit is pure with good depth and flavour. Time on skins contributes to the colour and fine-sandy phenolics to the mouthfeel; balanced acidity support and integration lend a long, dry closing. This elegant, harmonious Pinot Gris features ripe fruit, balance, and a smooth, textural mouthfeel. Match with pork terrine and Asian spicy cuisine over the next 3-5 years" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews, Apr 2022

Pale amber with clear hues. The nose is fragrant with pear, peach, cranberry, wet stone, violet, honeysuckle, beeswax, and orange peel. The palate is full bodied with ripe nectarine, peach, pear, grapefruit and nougat. The wine is lovely and textural with good weight, ripe medium grain tannins, soft acidity and toffee apple finish.

This Pinot Gris was fermented and aged in mixed age oak barrels and two clay amphorae. 50% Oak and 50% Amphorae. Primary fermentation and malolactic fermentation were both spontaneous. One amphorae was filled with whole Pinot Gris berries, fermented and aged on skins for six months before being drained without pressing. The barrel portion of the wine was lees stirred weekly.
