Pinot Gris 2023

Palliser Estate, tasting note (fusws.api.aspedia.io – linket fra palliser.co.nz, hentet 2026-10-19): 2023 Palliser Estate Pinot Gris – druer: Pinot Gris; alkohol 13.5%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Palliser Estate Pinot Gris 2023 A rich, concentrated off-dry Pinot Gris with a fresh mouthfeel. Pale lemon with just a hint of rose gold. Off dry with a hint of candied ginger and mandarin peel peeking through the lush orchard fruits. The palate is elegant and balanced through a gentle, spicy finish. Aromas of Nashi pear, gala apple, honeysuckle and nutmeg. WINEMAKER The ideal match with Japanese and Thai food, this will also pair with salmon, pork belly and medium aged cheeses. Enjoy now or through 2028. Guy McMaster Picking Date: March 2023 Alcohol: 13.5% Bottled: July 2023 33% of the fruit from the Pencarrow Vineyard, 33% from our organic vineyard Om Santi and the balance from the Palliser Vineyard. The fruit is harvested and has 3 hours skin contact to aid in extraction of aromas and flavour. The grapes are gently pressed, tank fermented to 2.4g/litre of residual sugar adding weight. A 10% portion is fermented in old French oak barrels adding complexity. The two portions are then blended and aged for a further 2 months on lees, gaining texture before bottling.
