2021 Gris 1.5L Magnum

*Shipping included*

Certified BioGro organic Pinot Gris from the Urlar Vineyard, Wairarapa.

Following daily gentle foot plunges , I pressed the wine after 15 days macerating on skins and transferred it into my new Tinajas (amphorae), which had just arrived from Spain. The Leon family have been making Tinajas by hand since 1783. I love the purity of fruit and intact expression that one can achieve by maturing the wine in contact with this special clay.

No additions were done at any stage, including sulphur. The wine is unfiltered and unfined.  

The Gris is a deep orange colour this year. Medium bodied with a plush mouthfeel and hints of pear and ginger spice. Great with spice, sashimi, BBQ, poultry or on its own.
