An off-dry, delicious Pinot Gris from Moutere's clay loams.
Production
From a single vineyard, grapes are hand-picked when at full ripeness then gently pressed and cold settled in stainless steel tanks, the pressing juices are separated in to free run and pressings, this allows for better integration for the future wine. The two juices are then racked together for fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 14°C on average to naturally achieve 4.5g r/s
Tasting notes
An increasingly popular grape variety in New Zealand, Pinot Gris thrives in the cooler influenced Nelson, gathering sweet pear and frangipane notes, alongside a wonderfully balanced texture of peach and apricot fruit on the palate.
Food match
Pear and walnut salad, soft cheeses or Thai green chicken curry.
