A beautifully balanced Pinot Gris from Nelson, New Zealand, offering sweet pear and frangipane aromas, with a rich palate of peach and apricot. Hand-picked from a single vineyard and crafted with precision.
A thriving variety in New Zealand's cooler Nelson region, this Pinot Gris displays sweet notes of pear and frangipane, balanced with a textured palate of peach and apricot fruit.
The Pinot Gris grapes are sourced from a single vineyard in Nelson, New Zealand, a region known for its cooler climate that allows this variety to thrive. The grapes are hand-picked at full ripeness, ensuring optimal flavor development and balance.
After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed and cold-settled in stainless steel tanks. The pressing juices are separated into free run and pressings, allowing for better integration in the final wine. Both juice components are then racked together and fermented at an average temperature of 14°C. This controlled fermentation process naturally results in 4.5g/l residual sugar, creating a harmonious balance of sweetness and acidity in the wine.
Perfectly paired with a pear and walnut salad, soft cheeses, or a Thai green chicken curry.
