Tasting Notes
Thornbury Marlborough Pinot Gris 2005
Tasting Notes

Pale straw in colour with green flecks, the wine shows ripe pear and stone fruit with hints of citrus and spiced apple. Early fruit is followed by a rounded and weighty mid palate, complexing mineral characters and natural acidity that confers length and balance.

Food Match

Poultry, olives, pasta, cheese, walnuts and fruit.

Winemakers Notes

In the winery, the chilled fruit was pressed and cold settled before being racked and warmed for fermentation. Cool fermentation techniques and selected yeast strains were employed to retain aromatic characters. The wine remained on primary ferment lees for ten weeks to build texture and palate weight.

Cellaring

Now until 2008
