2023 Red Claw Pinot Gris
The 2023 season brough 'La Nina' weather conditions for the third year in a row. It was a cool and late ripening vintage with low yields and superby quality.
A bright, refreshing style of pinot gris - bone dry and the perfect partner for fresh local seafood.
Winemaker Notes
Handpicked between 14 - 30 March, the fruit was whole bunch pressed into tank. After cold settling overnight, juice was racked to another tank for fermentation. Parcels left on yeast lees until late June to gain mouth feel and complexity, then estate bottled. (Alc 13%)
Tasting Notes
This Red Claw Pinot Gris has lovely freshness, lifted floral aromas and clean, fresh fruit flavours. Showing a hint of nashi pear, subtle spice and a long, finely textured palate.
