Our style of Pinot gris focuses on texture and concentration, combined with a subtlety and complexity acquired with bottle age. As usual for our clone of this varietal, the crop level was very low (20hL/ha, ca 1.5t/a), contributing to a high extract and from this comes a lush texture and weight in the final wine. The wine is a mid green-gold with a nose which seems to combine both delicacy and richness - quince, guavas and a touch of honey with a floral lift. It has a full oily and concentrated palate reminiscent of guavas and quince jelly with an underlying tautness which is a reminder there is still more to unfold. Cellar 4-7 years under good conditons. |
