From one of the Pioneer of NZ Pinot Gris, this cheeky pink blushed wine has a mouth-filling rich palette and refreshing tannins. There is a sweet lingering finish astounding for a dry Pinot Gris with no residual sugar. A long extended cold soak on the skin extracted the superb flavours and brilliant pink colour. Hans then lets the must progress to its natural (wild yeast) fermentation without any residual sugar. 20% of the wine went into French oak puncheons, and its fine lees regular stirred, assisting to its remarkable silkiness, complexity and depth.
'Orange-tinted wine from a lengthy period in contact with the skins. Dry, flavoursome pinot gris with quince, cherry, anise, spice and floral characters. An intriguing wine with a peppery tannic texture that gives support without pain. I am not a great fan of many 'orange' wines but I do like this example. Drink: 2018-2022'
