Gapstead Estate High Country Pinot Gris 2023 x 12
Product Description
This wine is steeped in cool climate focus – a cool climate wine region and reflective of a cool vintage. Lively, age worthy acidity balances against the natural varietal fruit expression of Pinot Gris and this ripe and plush wine style. Quince and apricot flowers overlap ripe lemon, tangerine and honeysuckle aromas. The palate unveils rich and complex flavours of ripe pear, quince and white nectarine complemented by mouth filling texture, a fine acid backbone and a long, impressive finish.
Enjoy this wine with Sour-Orange Yucatán Chicken.

The fruit for the 2023 Pinot Gris was picked on 23rd February at 13.0° baumé. We harvested the fruit during the night in cool temperatures so that the natural flavours and aromatics were preserved. The grapes were gently pressed and the juice settled prior to fermentation. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to retain the bright, varietal aromatics. Extended ageing on fine yeast lees contributed extra depth and complexity while allowing the slow integration of the aromas and flavours and the palate to glide seamlessly and with great persistence.
