Ready for immediate enjoyment and will elegantly evolve over the next five years.

Pinot Blanc is the white mutation grape of Pinot Noir and is an elegant, aromatic variety. Selected from a single vineyard alongside the Waihopai River, just north of the founding Delta Vineyard. Grown on soils with a clay underlay and free-draining river stones on the surface. A maritime influence with hot days and cool nights plays an important role in maintaining the acidity and flavours within the grapes.

The 2020 vintage started with cool spring weather, which extended the length of flowering, leading to open bunches with reduced potential for disease pressure during the early autumn rains.

During a cool evening, the vineyard was machine harvested and the grapes quickly transported to the winery to be pressed. The juice was fermented at cool temperatures to retain aromatics and fresh fruit flavours. The juice was then left on the lees to add extra depth, texture and complexity to the wine. The wine was then gently fined prior to bottling.

Food Pairing: An ideal match with pan-fried scallops, or Marlborough mussels.

I had always regarded p. blanc as nice dry fish wine-this is different. It is spicy, without the cloying sweetness of the usual gewurtz.-more like a dry cross between gewurtz and chardonnay-I love it

Interesting wine that takes a bit of getting used to, especially for a chardonnay drinker. It would probably suit someone who enjoys a complex pint gris. It's still good value and makes a change from the norm.
