Carrick Bannockburn Pinot Gris 2024 750ml

A flavoursome Pinot Gris with ripe fruit, spices and textural details

The Carrick Pinot Gris is a classic example of this variety from Central Otago, it is the cousin of Pinot Noir, named for the grey purple colour of its skins. Ours is an off-dry style, with plenty of weight and depth from barrel ageing. 
 
Crushed, pressed and wild fermented in a combination of tank and old oak barriques (26%), barrels fermented to dryness, the tank was stopped to retain some residual sugar. A small portion of the blend benefitted from extended time on skins. Each portion was blended together after 6 months maturation and then bottled.
 

"An inviting nose of stewed apple and quince flows onto the palate. The rich fruit notes are complemented by sweet spice - cinnamon and star anise - bordered by a hint of phenolics similar to biting into an unripe apricot. Long and well-balanced." - winemaker Rosie Menzies -

93 points - Excellent

Semi-aromatic bouquet with a flourish of ripe white fleshed fruit then scents of pears and citrus, apple and quince. A distinctive mineral quality emerges as the wine opens up in glass. Delicious on the palate with a satin-cream touch then flavours reflecting the bouquet from white nectarine to pear and lemon-verbena. A decent acid line and length with great drinking from day of purchase through 2029.
