Thornbury Pinot Gris 2006 - Marlborough, New Zealand

Bin No. THORNPG06

Price: £11.50

The Thornbury Pinot Gris is a white wine made predominantly from a blend of grapes from vineyards in the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. The vines are planted on the north facing slopes in the warmest areas of Marlborough.

The temperate microclimates, coupled with the region’s free-draining soils, provide ideal conditions for the ripening of the Pinot Gris fruit. The fruit for this, white Thornbury wine, was hand harvested at optimal ripeness and whole bunched pressed to provide soft, concentrated flavours. Cultured yeast strains and cool fermentation techniques in tank were used to preserve natural fruit flavours. Post fermentation, the wine was left on yeast lees for a further two months with occasional lees stirring to help build the desired texture and richness on the palate.
This wine was then blended and bottled early to capture the pure fruit flavours of the vineyard.

Citrus and spiced apple with ripe pear and stone fruit notes on the nose and palate. This New Zealand Pinot Gris is both opulent and mouth filling with a fresh vibrant finish.
