Viticultural Practices
Made from 16 year old vines which are planted on well-drained sandy gravels. The clone is 2/15 known for its ability to produce very high quality wines particularly when made in barrel.
Wine Making Details
The Pinot Gris was machine harvested and pressed straight to neutral (old) oak barrels for fermentation. The wine went through wild fermentation until dry followed by partial malolactic fermentation. It then sat on lees for nine months with weekly lees stirring to build texture on the pallet. It was aged in bottle for 12 months before release.
This wine is perfectly paired with pork or roasted white meats. The spice finish means it also pairs well with Asian dishes.
