Here is a Pinot Gris that offers a little more than the norm. For a start it was 90% whole bunch pressed before heading into old oak puncheons for natural fermentation. In the end, about 10% went through malolactic fermentation and then the blend received 5 months on lees in a mix of neutral 300 and 500l oaks. Nice lift of apple crumble and savoury citrus merging with slightly fresh cream notes. The palate is deliciously appealing with its relatively light weight but with persistence and energy.
