Description

  • Off-dry style
  • Peach & pear
  • Lychee
  • Full-bodied

An enticing light straw colour will fill your glass. The 2023 Pinot Gris has impressive pear and peach tones with a hint of lychee in the background. It is full bodied with a little residual sweetness and a firm alcohol. An ideal food wine.

All of the grapes come from Ohiti Estate, which is situated in an inland heat trap on the bed of the old Ngaruroro River. Trained on classical VSP trellis system, on arid alluvial soils, the Pinot Gris ripens well, producing clean fruit with full flavours, good extract, and moderate acid. The 2023 growing season was a testing vintage, with the fruit being harvested in March in good condition.

On arrival at the winery on the xxth March, the fruit was pressed as soon as possible. The skin of Pinot Gris is coloured and will tint the wine. The free run juice was kept separate from the pressings. After ‘cold-settling’ overnight, the clear juice was inoculated with an aromatic yeast strain and fermented at cool temperatures. Following completion of fermentation, the wine remained on its gross lees for texture and flavour enhancement, with weekly lees stirring.

Food Pairing: Ideal pairing with a prawn Pad-Thai, plus other seasoned cuisine.
