Single Vineyard Seddon Pinot Gris 2019 6x75cl

• 75cl bottle

The 2019 Single Vineyard Pinot Gris is solely sourced from our iconic Seddon vineyard, on the southern bank of the Awatere River. This Pinot Gris is a rich, textural, opulent wine with a creamy palate from spending extended time ageing on yeast lees. Aromas of fresh honeycomb intermingle with juicy summer peaches, the fleshy palate is framed by a soft but balanced acidity with an exotic, unctuous texture.

Vineyards

This single vineyard site is situated on the southern bank of the Awatere River in Marlborough, sheltered from the cooling southern weather patterns, resulting in a warm meso-climate. The loam soils have a distinctive soft clay "papa-rock" base allowing grapes to easily achieve physiological ripeness and fruit concentration in a cool climate region. The vineyard has several terraces gradually gaining in altitude away from the riverbank. The Pinot Gris vines planted at Seddon Vineyard are between 12-17 years old.

Vintage

The season was long and dry across our key wine growing regions creating spectacular conditions to ripen fruit. Our grapes were harvested in perfect condition with excellent fl flavours and intensity.

Winemaking

Hand harvested, whole bunch pressed. 20% natural fermentation in seasoned oak barriques adds texture & complexity, 70% inoculated stainless steel tank fermentation to retain freshness. 4 months on yeast lees.
