Description
2023 was a cool season, with a wet spring followed by intermittent showers in summer. Regardless of this, we produced clean and perfectly ripe Pinot Gris. The fruit was harvested and pressed straight to tank with minimal skin contact. Approximately 20% of the wine was wild fermented in older oak barrels and 10% wild fermented in tank; this adds complexity and texture to the wine. The remaining was fermented using an aromatic yeast strain to enhance the aromatic characters of the wine. Matured on yeast lees for 2 months to enhance mouthfeel and then blended and bottled.
Beautiful, lifted pear, citrus jasmine characters on the nose with some interesting spicy complexity. Whilst the powerful palate is packed with flavour, it also has added complexity and weight as a result of the wild ferment. Finishing with lovely crisp natural acidity.
