PINOT GRIS 2008

Auirum Wines Pinot Gris

Winemaker’s comments
The grapes were whole bunch pressed to minimise extraction of skin phenolics and cool fermented in stainless steel tanks. The ferment was stopped to maintain a small residual sugar level to balance the acidity.

Bottled: 13th August 2008
Alcohol: 12.5%
Acidity: 6.2 g/L

Residual sugar: 7.2 g/L


 
 

NOTES

Tasting Notes
Appearance - Crystal clear – very pale lemon
Bouquet - Intense quince and passion fruit
Palate – Off dry, vivacious, with intense pear, quince and tropical fruit flavours, this wine is crisp and full bodied with a rich creamy mouthfeel supported by a mineral backbone and a long lingering aftertaste.
