This refined Pinot Gris has been crafted from grapes off our own superior Hawke's Bay vineyard. Full bodied and creamy smooth, it displays attractive peach, nectarine, and orange zest flavours complimented with pink grapefruit 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 2023 growing season experienced a cooler start during Spring flowering, helping to naturally moderate crop for higher wine quality later. The climate then led into an averagely dry summer before the arrival Cyclone Gabrielle on 13th Feb. After the dissipation of the cyclonic conditions the vineyards underwent a revaluation. Site selection, fruit condition, along with flavour and balance meant healthy fruit was able to be harvested, 11th March April 2023.
The grapes were pressed on arrival to the winery, and the clarified juice transferred 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 11th August 2023, under screwcap.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with Devilled eggs or Sushi and horseradish sauce.
