Description

  • French oak
  • White nectarine
  • Honeycomb
  • Juicy & fresh

"A definitive bouquet with aromas of fresh apple and white nectarine, crumbled stone mineral and a fine lees layer adds complexity. A floral blossom also adding charm. A brief satin touch is followed by a spice and lees quality before the fruit flavours of pear and apple then a juicy white nectarine flavours coat the palate. Acidity refreshes the palate adding a crisp texture as well. Best drinking from 2023 through 2028" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Sep 2023

This is a rich, textural wine with a creamy palate from spending extended time ageing on yeast lees. Honeycomb intermingle with juicy summer peaches and crushed almonds. The fleshy palate is framed balanced acidity with savoury finish.

This Pinot Gris is sourced from our iconic Seddon Vineyard on the southern bank of the Awatere River. The vineyard site is situated on the southern bank of the Awatere River in Marlborough, sheltered from patterns resulting in a warm meso-climate. The loam soils have a distinctive soft clay "papa-rock" base easily achieve physiological ripeness and fruit concentration. The vineyard has several terraces gradually away from the riverbank, with vine ages between 15-20 years old.

The Marlborough growing season started off well with very little frost pressure during spring. Flowering glitch, due healthy soil moisture levels the canopies looked lush and vibrant. 17% natural fermentation in seasoned oak barriques adds texture & complexity, 83% inoculated fermentation to retain freshness.
