This refined Pinot Gris has been crafted from grapes off the wineries own superior Hawkes Bay vineyard. Full bodied and creamy smooth, it displays attractive stonefruit, apple, and nashi pear flavours complimented with rock melon, and a deliciously soft ginger spice finish.
The grapes for this cooler-climate loving variety were sourced from low-yielding vines located within the Maraekakaho sub-region of Hawkes Bay. The site enjoys a temperate climate moderated throughout summer by cooling afternoon breezes, in tandem with alluvial soils underfoot overlaying red metal, on terraced sun-facing slopes, the combination of which is ideally suited to the Pinot Gris variety.
The weather over 2021 growing season is characterised by a cooler start during Spring flowering which helped to naturally moderate crop levels for higher wine quality, leading onto a long dry hot summer, continuing right through to harvest and providing unpressured conditions to allow the grapes to be picked at optimal ripeness. Harvesting was over a couple of picks on the 9th and 10th of March in immaculate fruit condition and optimal fruit profile.
The grapes were pressed on arrival to the winery, and the clarified juice transferred to stainless steel tanks for fermentation, initiated with an inoculated yeast specially selected for its aromatic expression. A blending trial on the separate batches was undertaken to achieve the right balance, enhanced complexity and mouthfeel. The emerging wine thereafter received a light fining, progressing through to cold stabilisation prior to bottling on 17th December 2021, under screwcap.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with Devilled eggs or Sushi and horseradish sauce.
