Wanaka Road Central Otago Pinot Gris 2016
Description
This wine is all about texture and flavor. Pear, apples, & spicy tones are underlined by aromas of tropical fruit and a soft fullness of flavour. Nice acidity provides a refreshing backbone to the wine. A drier style that is extremely good with food.
Hand harvested in April at around 8 tonnes per hectare. The grapes were whole bunch pressed, fermented at cool temperatures using a mixture of wild and introduced yeasts, fined before filtration and bottling end Oct 2016.
This Pinot Gris is grown at our Lowburn vineyards, off the L’Attitude vineyard of Merrill & John Holdsworth down near the shores of Lake Dunstan, Cromwell. The soils here are a light layer of loess over a mixture of glacial and river based gravels. Elevation is 235m and annual rainfall around the 375mm.
Mount Edward is a small wine grower located in the heart of the Gibbston grape growing district, 25 km from Queenstown, in Central Otago, New Zealand. Started in 1998, Mount Edward has evolved from its simple beginnings; growing pure Central Otago Pinot Noir and Riesling, to a winery exploring the boundaries of what we believe is possible; with sub regional vineyard sites and the region’s most promising varieties.
Winemaker Duncan Forsyth has been making wine in Central Otago since 1996 and together with proprietor John Buchanan, grows and makes Mount Edward’s wines.
Mount Edward’s vineyards are in the Bannockburn, Lowburn and Gibbston sub regions. We use traditional and certified organic approaches to winegrowing, producing wines which reflect soil and season - all from unique single vineyard sites.
