Made from a blend of Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir varieties, from vineyards in the Marlborough winegrowing region.
Fruit was harvested in the cool of night in order to retain freshness and capture the fruit flavours. The grapes spent only a few hours on skins to extract the delicate flavour, aroma and colour and then carefully pressed. After settling the juice was fermented in 100 per cent stainless steel at cooler temperatures to retain fruit flavour and freshness. At the end of fermentation the wine was stabilised and carefully prepared for bottling.
Winemaker's Comments
Lifted aromas of sun warmed strawberry, whipped cream and spiced pear. Has a well balanced palate with fruit flavours of raspberries and strawberries with cream. Finely structured with hints of poached pear and spice on the finish.
