In Session with Crafters Union
Pinot Gris
HAWKE’S BAY
ALC/VOL: 9.5%
Great with Asian fusion dishes or as an aperitif. Ready for immediate enjoyment, however this wine can be enjoyed for up to 24 months.
Taste Profile:
Classic pear aromas with nectarine and citrus characteristics. A clean and crisp palate with lemon-lime notes. A well-balanced wine with an off dry finish.
Winemaking:
From the sunny Hawke’s Bay, our grapes were harvested early, reducing sugar (which makes for a naturally lighter wine) but still full of delicious flavours. The grapes were crushed and destemmed, & direct pressed with minimal skin contact to manage the concentration of flavours. The clarified juice was fermented at a cool temperature using selective yeast strains to optimise flavour intensity and the wine was racked off yeast lees directly after primary fermentation. Bottled while fresh to retain maximum fruit intensity.
