Pinot Gris 2022

£21.00

A dry white wine, 12.5% abv. 75cl

Notes on the nose and palate of white stone fruit, pear and flowers, threaded with a touch of spice. The palate is elegant: a hint of emerging honey (will develop in bottle), some mineral, balanced by a fine citrus acidity, spice and a long finish. It is a wine that is drinking well now and will keep for a year or two developing more mid palate complexity..

The 2020 and '21 vintages of this wine was extremely popular and sold quickly. This vintage shares many characteristics, but reflects the condition of ‘22, producing a more elegant, fruit driven wine.

Food matching: sufficient weight and texture touch a range of dishes, but really shines with seafood, salads, charcuterie and lightly spiced dishes.

The, grapes come from two Essex vineyards, the majority come from Bromley Brook vineyard, near Colchester , the smaller potion fromMartin’s Lane in the Crouch Valley. They were destemmed, not crushed, and gravity fed to the press where they received a gentle press cycle. The wine was fermented to dryness in a combination of old Burgundian oak (30%) and concrete egg (70%) over two weeks. After fermentation the wine was put in the egg to age on its lees for 6 months, then old oak barrel for a further 3 months. About 33% of the wine has undergone malolactic conversion, slightly changing the acid profile to a softer lactic acid.. Low sulphite additions, and only light fining to preserve flavour.

The wine is closed with a technical cork. This is an extremely high quality natural product engineered to resist taint and to provide predictable and consistent aging parameters, preventing premature oxidation.
