Little Goat Creek Pinot Gris (2023)

Organic / 750mL / Marlborough, NZ

Category: Wine
Sub-Category: White Wine

Tasting Notes:

Little Goat Pinot Gris has aromas of citrus and pear showing through on the nose. It has great drinkability due to the freshness on the palate.

The pear and citrus notes continue in the mouth with great length of flavour.

Little Goat Pinot Gris will drink well anytime complementing white meats, salads and seafood.

Vineyard & Winemaking:

The grapes are sourced from organic vineyards in the Wairau Valley of Marlborough. Being organic, the grapes build up a natural resistance to the elements.

This produces thick skins where much of the flavour is produced.

The canopies were open allowing sunshine and a flow of air which is perfect for producing great Pinot Gris.

Picked early April and allocated into different parcels for fermentation allowing a range of components for blending.

All components are kept on yeast lees as long as possible until blending, adding greater flavour and softness to the wine. Careful blending with these parcels has produced this wine of interest and complexity.

The grapes and wine are certified organic by BioGro New Zealand.
