Te Kano Pinot Gris

A concentrated Pinot Gris with quintessential aromas of stone fruit, pear and spice. Honeysuckle and melon flavours mingle with peach, pear and spice, while a fine boned acidity ensures a fresh, crisp finish.

Vintage
Spring  and Summer were cooler and wetter than usual, with the long ripening period allowing flavours to build in intensity while retaining freshness and vibrancy.

Vineyards
100% Jerome vineyard. The characteristic structure and bright fruit flavours of the Jerome vineyard are well suited to Pinot Gris. Naturally low in vigour, the sandy soils
produce smaller than usual berries with intense flavours and a hint of phenolics, making for a structured and complex example of a classical varietal.

Varietal
100% Pinot Gris - clones 40A and Selection Ovaille.

Winemaking
100% hand harvested and whole bunch pressed. A long, cool fermentation in stainless steel was used to preserve freshness and aromatics, with lees contact post fermentation to build mid palate texture.
