Description
The Ned Pinot Gris 2021 demonstrates vibrant stone fruit aromas of white peach and lychee together with nuances of cinnamon spice. The opulent palate is lengthy and fresh evoking juicy nectarine and poached pear characters. A versatile wine, that pairs well with food, due to notable fruitiness and gentle acidity. Tuck into an antipasti platter with marinated olives, stuffed piquante peppers, mozzarella balls, cherry tomatoes and a selection of cured meats with a loaf of toasted ciabatta.

Vinification
A portion of Pinot Gris juice underwent a period of skin contact to enhance colour and texture. It was then gently pressed to stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Selected yeast strains were chosen to enhance varietal intensity and mouthfeel with a slow, steady fermentation to preserve these aromatics. The salmon pink colour is a stylistic signature of The Ned Pinot Gris.
