Fruit was sourced from the Godfrey’s Creek vineyard at the end of the Brancott Valley (Marlborough), owned by John and Lynne Walsh.
This vineyard is one of Saint Clair’s top producing vineyards for aromatic varieties. The vineyard is set up utilising two cane vertical shoot positioning (VSP) trellising system. To keep the vines in balance and ensure quality grapes some fruit was dropped prior to ripening.
Very pale gold. Complex aromas of poached pear and stone fruit laced with pastry and warm spice. Elegant and expressive with seamless layers of fresh pear, peach and freshly baked pastry. This is a dry style Pinot Gris with richness from the intense flavours and silky texture.
Drinking well now and will continue to reward over the next five years.
