Toi Toi Pinot Gris 2023

‘Bright and elegantly expressed, the inviting bouquet shows ripe stone fruit, green pear, fig and floral aromas, followed by a beautifully rounded palate displaying lovely fruit intensity together with supple texture and juicy acidity. Delightfully rounded and refreshing, making it immediately appealing. At its best: now to 2025.’ –Wine Orbit July 2023

In such a year, Toi Toi's foresight in leveraging regional diversity shines. Our well-timed harvests mitigated the effects of an erratic climate, yielding quality fruit with exceptional flavour. We prioritized capturing this essence by picking the grapes at the pinnacle of their flavour profile. Our gentle approach, using a select de-stemmer harvester, was paramount in preserving the grape's integrity. The subsequent fermentation in stainless steel tanks at cooler temperatures, with chosen yeast strains, was instrumental in maintaining the wine’s delicate fruit nuances. Post fermentation, as the batches were blended and rested on light lees, regular stirring enriched the wine with a creamy depth, ensuring a full-bodied and rounded mouthfeel. Raise a glass to our winegrowers whose fortitude in the face of Mother Nature’s unpredictability will be appreciated with each sip.
