Miner’s Right Pinot Gris 2023

Tasting notes

Delicate aromas of ripe nashi pear and white nectarine. The palate is complex with pear, apple and gingerbread spice. The fruit weight and flavour are well balanced. This wine finishes with a long, clean and dry finish.

Food match: Antipasto, roast chicken and seafood

Winemaking notes

The fruit was hand-harvested on the 24th of April 2023 at 22 brix from Three Miners Vineyard, near Alexandra. The fruit was whole bunch pressed to tank and the juice allowed to settle before being racked. Fermentation was started using selected wine yeast and stopped once flavour and acid balance was achieved.
