Pinot Gris - Mount Riley

The bouquet of this white wine from New Zealand's South Island captivates with aromas of lemongrass, pomelo, kumquat and pear. If we trace the aromatics further, green peppers, Mediterranean herbs and garrigue are added.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with only 8 grams of residual sugar. As you would naturally expect from a wine, this New Zealander naturally enraptures with the finest balance despite all its dryness. Aroma does not necessarily require a lot of sugar. On the palate, the texture of this balanced white wine is wonderfully light. Due to the balanced fruit acid, the Pinot Gris flatters with a pleasing mouthfeel, without lacking freshness. In the finish, this white wine from the wine-growing region of New Zealand South Island finally inspires with good length. There are again hints of lime and apple.

Vinification of the Pinot Gris from Mount Riley

The basis for the balanced Pinot Gris from New Zealand South Island are grapes from the grape variety Pinot Grigio. After the hand harvest, the grapes reach the winery by the fastest route. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and small wood at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging for several months on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.
