Overview:
The Charles Wiffen Pinot Gris 2018 is a refined and elegant expression of this popular varietal, grown in the historic “Home” Block that surrounds the farm's 1882 homestead. This block, with its carefully managed spur pruning, yields just 9 tonnes per hectare to ensure optimal grape quality. The cool morning harvest, followed by gentle destemming, pressing, and clarification, preserves the fresh, crisp character of the fruit. Fermented with selected yeasts, this Pinot Gris captures the essence of its terroir, offering a harmonious balance of fruit and subtle complexities, making it a delightful choice for any occasion.
Tasting Notes:
On the nose, the Charles Wiffen Pinot Gris 2018 reveals aromas of ripe pear, green apple, and a touch of citrus zest, creating an inviting and fresh bouquet. The palate is crisp and lively, with flavours of juicy stone fruit and a hint of floral sweetness. Its balanced acidity ensures a refreshing mouthfeel, while a subtle richness on the finish adds depth and complexity. The wine’s smooth texture and clean, dry finish make it a versatile pairing for a wide range of dishes, or perfect as a refreshing stand-alone drink.
