Red Hut - Awatere Valley Pinot Gris 750ml
"Full destemmed hand-picked fruit was chilled before being pressed, with only free-run juice retained. Cool fermentation took place in stainless steel vats, with a small portion (10%) fermented separately in a large oak vat to add complexity. Texture and mouthfeel was built through maturation on lees for two months. It was then blended, naturally stabilised, and bottled with minimal intervention.
A vibrant and finely detailed expression of the variety. Aromas of cut pear, lemon zest, white blossom and a hint of spice lead into a palate that is both bright, textural, and with a subtle mineral edge, reflecting the region’s cool, coastal influence. The finish is long and clean, with a gentle savoury note that adds depth and complexity.
Awatere Valley
The Awatere Valley, located southeast of the Wairau in Marlborough, is a cooler, drier, and windier sub-region that produces a distinct style of both Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris. Its proximity to the coast brings strong oceanic influences, while the valley’s elevated river terraces and stony, well-draining soils stress the vines just enough to produce grapes with concentrated flavour and vibrant acidity." - Red Hut
