Sorry Sold Out, Next release 2020 June.
The Natural Wine Co Pinot Gris 2017 is produced from our Coastal Vineyard in Manutuke. The wines is fruit driven with lovely pear and honey suckle flavours. An easy drinking style, clean, fresh with an off dry finish.
These grapes are harvested ripe, as low yields and 3 cane pruning encourages this. The grapes are normally harvested around 22 – 24 brix. This wine has lovely fruit flavour and texture.
The wines are made from certified organic grapes and bio-dynamically grown grapes. The wine is low allergen – low sulphur, minimal additive.

How’s this for hands-off winemaking. Organic fruit was harvested a little later than normal to enhance the fruit sweetness and then the juice was then left to soak overnight with the skins to extract a little more texture and complexity. Extended lees stirring during a ferment kickstarted with wild yeasts from the vineyard itself has added layers of interest to the nashi, apple and honeysuckle-soaked palate. Excellent length of flavour makes this a star with chicken tikka marsala. Clean, tangy and tasty.

It is beautifully ripe and inviting on the nose showing peach, red apple, baked pear and floral characters with subtle spicy complexity. The palate is succulent and rounded, and offers silky texture and tasty fruit flavours with a hint of sweetness, which is nicely balanced by refreshing acidity. At its best: now to 2018. $20.00.
