2023 Pear Tree Marlborough Pinot Gris 750ml

Nose: stone fruit, green pear, and delicate floral.
Palate: fresh, textured, and nuanced with green grape, apple, andhoneysuckle flavours. A dry expression with subtle citrus and a hint ofspice.
Vinification: evenly spread rain events for an average total fall, andprotracted flowering conditions in December meant looser bunches thannormal contributing to less disease vulnerability and the success of the vintageas a whole. Some cold nights certainly helped in retaining nice acidity.
Winemakers Notes: Small parcels of Pinot Gris were fermented separatelyusing a variety of yeasts. Pressings were fermented in oak and kept separatefrom the free run which was tank fermented. We assembled the wine with theprimary goal of balance given the subtle nature of Pinot Gris and the accentuation of the primary clean fruit character, which is typically pears and light citrus.
Winemaking Philosophy: all our growers are certified sustainable, withviticulturists bent on an organic and natural approach where possible.
Dovetailing that nicely is our winemakers low-intervention approach to theircrafting of the grapes.
