Pencarrow Pinot Gris 2023 offers a sensory journey of vibrant allure with its medium lemon hue tinged delicately with pink. The nose entices with a spicy symphony, weaving together notes of red apple, pear, honey, and almond. A crisp and dry character unfolds, and the savoury, saline complexity complements the bountiful orchard fruits revealed on the palate. The finish, full and balanced, leaves a lasting impression with its silky texture. Sourced from three distinct vineyards, with a third hailing from the Pencarrow Vineyard, another from the organic Om Santi vineyard, and the remainder from the Palliser Vineyard, each grape undergoes meticulous handling. With three hours of skin contact to extract aromas and flavours, gentle pressing, and tank fermentation with a touch of residual sugar for weight, this Pinot Gris embodies depth. Further complexity is bestowed by a fraction aged in old French oak barrels, and a two-month ageing on lees before bottling bestows a textured finesse.
