Other Wine Co. Pinot Gris 2023

Fermented on full solids in a combination of large format oak foudres, seasoned French oak puncheons, and stainless steel. It was then allowed to rest on lees for 4 months. Star jasmine, mock orange blooms and pomelo pith. Mangosteen, orchard apples and nashi pear. Fresh linen, greengage plum and white pepper. This wine has stayed true to its style from day dot with slight tinkering to sweetness levels and hue. It’s unapologetically Gris and filled with spice and all things nice. A lovely wash of natural moderate acidity and slight oily palate. A deserving pairing for Chinese strange flavour chicken or a fat turkey, brie sandwich. Drink now.
