This is a skin contact Pinot Gris macerated for two weeks in Tinajas (amphorae) before pressing, imparting the amber orange colour. The wine is medium bodied, with pear, rock melon and subtle ginger spice notes. Made to be approachable to all and a pleasure to pair with so many different food types, from fish to charcuterie as well as spicy Asian inspired dishes.
This year I sourced fruit from an organic trial block in Eskdale. After a gentle hand plunge each day, I pressed the wine and transferred the wine back into Tinajas. Besides being magical and fragile vessels all the same, I love the purity of fruit and intact expression that one can achieve by keeping the wine in contact with this special clay. No additions at any stage, including sulphur. The wine is unfiltered and unfined.
