2011 Astrolabe Marlborough Pinot Gris
2011 Astrolabe Marlborough Pinot Gris
|
|
The new 2011 pinot gris from the maestro is superb. Grown in the Waihopai and Awatere Valleys , from a fabulous vintage. A portion of the fruit was hand harvested and whole cluster pressed. The cuvée juice was fermented at low temperature with grape solids retained, to impart a creamy texture we so desparately seek in NZ Pinot Gris. "Aromas of white fleshed stonefruit and fresh pear, with a little vanilla pod, cardamom and citrus zest. The palate is pure, easy-drinking wine with a fine minerality and delicacy of structure. Stonefruit and pear flavours dominate." Another beaut from Astrolabe
