Sherwood Estate Pinot Gris 2023

Winemaking

A complex concentrated wine that is a real favourite to make, as it combines a number of different winemaking techniques on individual parcels of grapes which are later blended together. Some of these portions are fermented as whole berries (carbonic mac-eration) another in small oak barrels, another uses oxidised grapes. Just some of the techniques that build complexity into the wine.

Tasting Note

Careful fruit selection, cool fermentation and extended lees contact has produced a Pinot Gris with intense pear and peach aromas with hints of elegant florals. The wine has a smooth mouth-feel with refreshing length and finish.

Food Matching

Slightly spicy Asian/Pacific dishes
