Product Description
WINERY INFORMATION:
The Pinot Gris was sourced from neighbouring vineyards and entered the winery at the end of February and beginning of March. With warm days and cool nights, the Pinot Gris ripened beautifully. Great care is taken with Pinot Gris fruit to minimise extraction from the pink skins, and as such the grapes were pressed from skins as soon as possible, following harvest. The pressed juice was handled oxidatively, to knock out any colour and phenolics that may have been extracted. The juice was settled overnight and then racked off heavy solids. A portion of juice was fermented in older oak, to impart complexity and structure, whilst the rest was fermented in stainless steel to retain bright fruit and freshness. We promote wild yeasts to carry out the primary fermentation, as they generate interesting aroma and enhance mouthfeel. Following primary fermentation up until bottling, we left the wine to age on fermentation lees, again enhancing mouthfeel and allowing development of autolytic characters.
TASTING NOTES:
The Gardener is pale straw yellow with a slight green hue. The nose is vibrant. An elegant yet generous wine, it displays lifted nashi pear, nectarine and citrus with a spicy backbone. There is a lovely texture to the palate without taking away from the freshness and purity of the fruit.
