Tasting Notes
Thornbury Marlborough Pinot Gris 2008
Tasting Notes

The wine displays lovely youthful Pinot Gris characters of delicate citrus and spiced pear. The palate is finely textured and mouth filling. Best enjoyed young.

Winemakers Notes

The fruit was hand harvested in late April to gain optimum ripeness then whole bunched pressed to tank. Cultured yeast strains and cool fermentation techniques in tank were used to preserve natural fruit flavours. Some residual sugar was left in the wine to provide balance in the final blend. Post fermentation, the wine was left on yeast lees with occasional lees stirring to help build the desired texture and richness on the palate. Gentle fining and careful filtration followed before bottling.

Cellaring

Enjoy now and over the next 2 years.
