Vinification

Yeasts were specially selected to showcase the classic Pinot Gris aromatics and build the mealy complexity that’s typical of Pinot Gris. Fermentation is stopped when natural sweetness balances the classic Marlborough acidity. A mixture of ferment temperatures are used; warmer ferments add texture while cooler ferments help to retain bright fruit and purity. Following a short time on lees the wine is racked to blend, fined and stabilised before filtration to prepare for bottling. This wine is certified vegan friendly.
