Pinot Gris 2023

An appealing bouquet of peach, citrus peel and thyme is followed by a firm palate of floral and soft citrus notes. Focused and balanced, drinking beautifully now, with excellent aging potential. The perfect accompaniment for our modern south pacific cuisine.

• The 2022 growing season and the subsequent harvest was defined by frequent and timely rain and a warm dry ripening period. This combination of nature’s irrigation from October through December left the vines quite happy with prolonged flowering and good fruit set. The superb ripening weather that followed from January through the end of April really delivered quality fruit.
  
• Hand-picked in ideal condition and ripeness on the 4th April.
  Whole bunch pressed, minimum settling followed by natural fermentation and
  aged on yeast lees for 6 months during which full malolactic fermentation occured.
  
• pH: 3.4, TA: 5.1g/l, Alc: 13.5%, RS: 1.83g/l
