Marlborough Pinot Gris 2022 750ml

Our Marlborough Pinot Gris comes from one vineyard located just outside the township of Ward in the Awatere Valley.

The fruit was machine-picked to bin, so maceration was minimised, and a portion of this juice was barrel-fermented in older French oak to give greater weight, though ensuring that wood is not evident on the nose. The balance of the wine was fermented cool to retain the fruit characters that come from this special vineyard

The final blend this year was made solely from free-run juice, as we feel it gives a more elegant and subtle wine, especially with Pinot Gris, that has quite ‘grey’ coloured skins and is inherently quite tannic.
