Hand picked premium grapes from the Kumeu vineyards have produced this delicious Pinot Gris. Aromas of nashi pears and white peaches are complemented by a lovely spicy palate. On the palate floral fruit and ripe melon flavours lead to a long, crisp finish.
Winemakers Notes
The ripe grapes were hand picked, de-stemmed and then gently pressed. The juice was cold settled, racked and fermented in stainless tanks at temperatures ranging from 14-18° C over a 7 week period. The wine has been bottled early so that it is vibrant and fresh, and is ready for immediate drinking.
Food Match:
A perfect aperitif, or matched with light summer salads, fish and white meats.
Cellaring:
This wine will continue to develop the rich, oily characters which Pinot Gris is renowned for. Best drunk 2010-2014
