WOOLLASTON NELSON PINOT GRIS 2010

Clear, pale gold colour. A perfumed nose with a touch of green pear and white lilies. An elegant mouth feel evokes predominant lychee characters. A touch of sweetness balances the acidity and contributes to a refined mineral backbone.

Technical Information

Hand harvested grapes were whole bunch pressed. A gentle slow pressing program was used to extract juice whilst minimising astringent harshness. The juice was cold settled overnight then racked as clear juice before inoculation for fermentation. Fermentation temperatures were kept cool to conserve the fruit aromas in the wine. The finished wine was bottled using gravity.
