Kumeu River / Pinot Gris 2021
With its concentrated flavor and rich structure, you can barely feel the 10g of residual sugar per 1 liter. The aroma is peach, apricot and flowers. The rich and complex taste leaves a long and pleasant aftertaste.
Region: Auckland
Origin: Kumeu
Variety: 100% Pinot Gris
Winemaking: Hand-picked grapes are pressed whole bunches. Fermented for a long time in stainless steel tanks using natural yeasts. Malolactic fermentation is only partially carried out.
Certainly a very layered and complex Pinot Gris. The indigenous yeast fermentation took place in tanks over an extended period, in conjunction with a partial malo-lactic fermentation. The 10 grams per liter of residual sugar is hardly noticeable due to the concentration of flavor and the textural richness that this wine displays.
The aromas have typical peach and stone fruit notes tinged with the floral spiciness that we have come to expect from Pinot Gris. On the palate the wine is rich and complex with lovely length of flavor.
Varietal: 100% Pinot Gris
