The Sideways Central Otago Duo
Description
3 x Sideways Central Otago Pinot Noir 2020
Awarded 95/100 Points & 5 Stars: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2021
"It's superbly fruited and seductive on the nose showing sweet plum, vanilla, warm mushroom and cedar characters with nuances of dried herb and game. The concentrated palate delivers excellent flow and plush texture, wonderfully enhanced by savoury undertones, finishing persistent and velvety. At its best: now to 2030." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2021
Ruby coloured. Plum, cherry, mocha and savoury aromatics. The palate is complex with red bramble fruit and silky tannins with a long and textured finish. Pairs beautifully with beef, lamb and duck with cherries.
The fruit was hand harvested on the 20th of April 2020 at 23 Brix from Three Miners Vineyard, Alexandra. The fruit was destemmed and allowed to cold soak in open top fermenters for 5 days before fermentation. The wine was fermented at a maximum of 31 degrees and once dry, was left on skins for 4 days to build balance before been drained. The remaining skins were pressed and combined with the free-run juice. The wine was settled for 24 hours and then racked to French oak barrels for maturation.

3 x Sideways Central Otago Pinot Gris 2019
Awarded 94/100 Points & 5 Stars: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2021
"Splendidly ripe and inviting, the bouquet shows golden peach, Nashi pear, orange peel and subtle spice notes, leading to a succulent palate offering excellent weight and plump mouthfeel. Generously textured and lingering with delectable flavours. At its best: now to 2025." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2021
Pale straw with lemon hues. Fragrant with fresh apple and pear, nectarine, melon, marzipan, orange blossom, orange zest and a hint of bran. A creamy entry with peach, melon, nectarine, cooked pear, biscotti, spice and citrus zest. A mouth filling mid-palate with lovely fruit sweetness, a refreshing minerality and a pleasing stone fruit finish. Pairs beautifully with antipasto, roast chicken and seafood.
The fruit was hand harvested on 13th April 2019 (21.3 brix) from Three Miners Vineyard near Alexandra and whole bunch pressed to tank. The juice was inoculated with selected wine yeasts. 9.5% of the juice was barrel fermented in older French oak barrels with the balance fermented in a stainless steel tank. The fermentation was stopped retaining around 9g/L of residual sugar.
