Municipal Pinot Gris

100% Cool Climate Pinot Gris from high altitude granitic soils. A three day cold soak prior to wild fermentation with a further three days on skins to extract the amazing bronze/copper colour from the skins as well as the red apple and pear aromatics, before being pressed off into barrel for the remaining 138 days of fermentation on full solids with lees stirring twice weekly to increase complexity and mouthfeel. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Tasting Note: Super complex and very intense with red apple skin, quince, pear, orange blossom, clove, cardamon, cinnamon, pie crust and hints of rose water on the nose. Amazing on the palate, very textural yet fresh showing red delicious and granny smith apples, wild strawberry, nutmeg, lovely mineral notes, wonderful mouthfeel from barrel fermentation, creaminess from lees stirring and fantastic length.
