Te Kano Wines Pinot Gris 2022 (6 Bottles) Central Otago, NZ
$229.00 GST Included
SHIPPING INCLUDED ONLY IN NEW SOUTH WALES. WINE IS NOT AVAILABLE TO BE DELIVERED OUTSIDE NSW.
Concentrated and expressive, with vibrant aromas of fresh ginger, Nashi pear and tropical fruits. Flavours of fresh pear, stonefruit and spice explode onto the palate and sumptuous, ripe tropical fruits give depth and weight.
A complex, balanced expression of Pinot Gris, with a hint of fruit sweetness complementing the defined, mineral acidity.
Vintage
The 2020 season started cool and dry, with warmer Summer temperatures leading into a long, warm Autumn. The season delivered lower yields of small berries, with excellent ripeness and flavour concentration.
Vineyards
Our Bannockburn Pinot Gris comes from Jerome vineyard, and is defined by the devigourating influence of it’s sandy soils. Small, intensely flavoured bunches ripen evenly on the North facing slopes, developing exotic fruit flavours. Northburn shows fine boned acidity, pure fresh fruit flavours and a crystalline minerality derived from Schist based soils.
Varietal
100% Pinot Gris, Clones 40A, Selection Ovaille, M2 and 457.
Winemaking
Hand harvested and fermented at very low temperatures to preserve fruit expression. An extended period of aging on full fermentation solids builds mid palate body and complexity prior to bottling in Spring.
Description
Like all who come here, the Lloyd Family fell in love with the other- worldly beauty of Central Otago – the land and the lifestyle. The seed of a new future was sown; three vineyards, each planted with site specific varietals — including Central Otago’s signature Pinot Noir — allow our talented winemakers the luxury to select and blend only the most outstanding fruit each season.
Committed to rejuvenating the land and a sustainable future throughre-planting and excellent stewardship, the Te Kano is creating enduring sensory wine and lifestyle experiences which could come from nowhere else but Central Otago. Te Kano (Māori for seed), is for those who appreciate the rarest combination of layered elegance and sublime natural quality.
