Amphora Gris & Chenin Blanc
Certified organic grapes from the attentively farmed Two Terraces vineyard I have had the pleasure of working with this fruit for 5 years and have been applying Biodynamic preparations to my allocated rows during this time.
The Gris is grown right next door - at the certified organic Osawa vineyard in the Mangatahi Terraces. This is the first wine I made in 2018 and it's good to be back home.
The Chenin Blanc is foot-stomped & whole bunch pressed into Tinajas (Spanish handmade clay vessels), which maintains freshness and fruit purity. There's tropical fruit with a rich palate finished by a granny smith apple & crisp saline finish. Check the label art for the tasting note!
This is a skin contact Pinot Gris macerated for 3.5 weeks in before pressing to Tinajas. The time on skins imparts 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.
