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 -
