2011 Estate Bottled Pinot Gris
Winemaking Notes
Selected from our Estate vineyards, the grapes were picked and given a short cold-soak with their skins prior to pressing. After a gentle press cycle, the cold settled juice was fermented in both stainless steel (at cool temperatures) and in neutral barrels at warmer temperatures. After fermentation the wines were kept on lees for three months then combined, filtered and bottled.
