Lawsons Dry Hills Pinot Gris
AA1987
Description
Tasting Notes
Fragrant lemon, red apple and stone-fruit aromas lead to quite
a dry yet richly textured palate with fresh, bright fruit characters
and a gentle acidity.
Vineyards and viticulture
This is from our two adjacent Waihopai vineyards. The soils in
these blocks are a mixture of clay, gravel and silts. The clays
provide lovely mouthfeel and weight to this wine. The viticulture
is quite intensive as we undertake shoot, bunch and colour
thinning in order to ensure low crop levels, full ripening and
concentrated flavours. 2019 was an outstanding vintage so we
picked the grapes at perfect ripeness, with great flavour and in
wonderful condition.
Winemaking
The winemaking for this wine was very straight forward. We are
simply seeking to express the wonderful characters we get from
these vineyards. The grapes were gently pressed and fermented
at cool temperatures to retain the naturally occurring, fresh fruit
character. Fermentation was stopped with just a hint of residual
sugar and the wine was bottled here at the winery.

Cellaring
Two to three years.
Food Match
Spicy foods, salmon, pâté, creamy pasta, roast pork or ideal just
