Villa Maria Cellar Selection Pinot Gris 2023 750ml

The fruit was harvested in cool night-time temperatures to retain freshness. The clear juice was then inoculated with select aromatic and textural yeast strains. Fermentation was cool and controlled to promote bright aromatic expression. The wine matured on its yeast lees for a closely monitored period of time to develop a complex creamy texture before blending, finishing and bottling.

Low rainfall over winter and cooler weather at flowering resulted in reduced crop yield for the 2022 harvest. The growing season progressed with Marlborough's classic dry conditions, warm days and cool nights. The idyllic weather and low crops produced pristine grapes with concentrated flavours and fresh acidity.
