VINEYARD
This is a single vineyard wine from the Keltern Vineyard situated near Maraekakaho
on a stony river terrace formed by the Ngaruroro River. With warm daytime
temperatures and cool nights this is an ideal site to grow premium Pinot Gris. The
old vines are spur pruned and intensively managed to provide ripe fruit from low
yielding vines.
WINEMAKING
The grapes were harvested in the morning while temperatures were cool and
processed as quickly and gently as possible to avoid colour and tannin pick up from
the pink Pinot Gris berries. The juice was settled bright before fermentation in both
tank and large old oak barrels. The finished wine was left on its yeast lees with regular
stirring until bottling.
WINEMAKER’S COMMENT
This is a dry but rich style of Pinot Gris with aromas and flavours of baked apple,
peach, citrus and honey. A small portion of barrel fermentation has added richness
and complexity to this delicious and highly drinkable wine.
FOOD MATCHES:
Very versatile. Can be enjoyed on its own or with soft cheeses, pork, chicken and
seafood dishes.
IDEAL DRINKING
Enjoy as a young wine or cellar for a richer and more complex style.
