Orchard Vineyard Pinot Blanc

Winemaking: The grapes were hand harvested on 31st of March 2020. The fruit was whole bunch pressed where the free run juice settled for 24 hours then racked with light lees. A portion was fermented in a concrete egg with the remainder in a 500L French Oak puncheon. The wine was matured on lees to gain complexity and texture for 10 months before blending, a light filtration, and bottling.

Tasting Notes: Aromas of green tea and white peach, this Pinot Blanc follows through on the palate with a ripe citrus and nashi pear flavours. A compelling palate that contrasts the fruit characters with texture and savoury notes from the fermentation vessels and time on lees, giving a lengthy textural finish.
