Opawa Pinot Gris 2021

This wine is pale lemon in colour with fragrant aromas of honeysuckle, peach, apricots and spices. The palate displays white peaches along with subtle nutty characters, hints of citrus and has a creamy texture with a crisp and refreshing finish. Opawa Pinot Gris is a versatile food wine and matches well with a variety of dishes - especially lightly spiced Asian influenced cuisine.

Made from grapes sourced from the Wairau Valley vineyards, the fruit was harvested in the cool of the morning and pressed using a long slow cycle. A cool tank fermentation followed, using an aromatic yeast. After a short period on yeast lees, the wine was clarified and filtered prior to bottling in September 2021.
