Scorpo Pinot Gris 2017

Tasting Notes

Pinot Gris is made in a predominantly Alsatian tradition. The fruit is whole bunch pressed and sent to tank to settle. Approximately 30% of the solids are removed. The juice then has the remainder of the solids mixed through and is transferred to 4 years and older French barrels. Along with wild yeast fermentation, the use of old barrels accentuates the savoury side of this aromatic variety and also helps produce complex flavours, whilst still retaining plenty of fruit character. Mouth-watering, refreshing acidity is assured by stopping malolactic fermentation and the lees are not stirred. The wine is bottled after between 10 and 12 months. - Winery Note
