20 Pinot Gris

2020 Pinot Gris shows red apple and ripe fruit characters on the nose.  The palate has spicy undertones with clean tropical fruit balance.  The wine has wonderful depth and complexity along with an off dry finish.  This is a complex Pinot Gris that will age well over the next 5 years.

We are proud that this wine is Certified Vegan by the NZ Vegetarian Society.

The fruit for this wine was sourced from the Rapaura sub-region of Marlborough.  The grapes were harvested at different maturity levels in order to add complexity of the finished wine. The pressed juice was fermented in stainless steel and old French oak barrels before being blended back together for a brief period of lees aging. Oxidative juice handling techniques were employed to minimise phenolic uptake.

90 Points – September 2020, Bob Campbell “Flavoursome Pinot Gris with stewed apple, pear, ginger anise and spice flavours. A hint of sweetness is balance by gentle acidity to produce and off- dry finish. A palatable point that accessible now.”
