Pyramid Valley North Canterbury Orange 2020
Varietal: Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Muscat
Alcohol: 12.5%
Region: Waikari, North Canterbury, New Zealand
Appreciated by most Orange Organic Wine drinkers.
Slightly hazy appearance with a golden lemon hue. Attractive nose with Nashi pear and citrus fruits, with an underlying savoury complexity. The palate is vibrant with tension and length, showing a nice mixture of bright fruit and savoury elements that North Canterbury is renowned for.
Selectively hand-picked, from the Porter vineyard in the Waipara Valley. The vineyard is on a 10˚NE-facing slope with moderate to heavy clay soil, derived from sand/siltstone wash, and sits 100-125m above sea level.
Sorted again at the winery, then destemmed, and transferred to stainless tanks. Pitched with a vineyard yeast starter, fermented for one lunar cycle (27-28 days). Foot-and hand-plunged during this time. Lightly pressed in our tiny basket press, then settled for another lunar cycle. Transferred to demi-muids (450-500L), all French, none new, for 6 months. Natural malolactic. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. 960 cases of 6 x 750ml produced.
