Cellar Notes
A great season for Pinot Gris. The grapes were harvested in great condition. They were pressed, settled, racked to tank and barrel and inoculated with cultured yeast. The barrels went dry and the tank was stopped with some residual sweetness. After a few months on yeast lees the wine was blended, filtered and bottled.
Tasting Notes
This wine shows pear drop with lemons and a slight lime influence. The palate is light and fresh with great balance and concentration with light phenolic structure. This is a food friendly wine. Food: Match with fresh rice paper rolls with a Hoisin dipping sauce or your favourite Thai-style curry.
Review
Floral, medium-bodied wine, partly barrel-fermented. Vibrantly fruity and finely poised, with very good depth of peach, pear and lychee flavours, a sliver of sweetness and a refreshingly crisp finish. Winestate 2011

WAIPARA SPRINGS RIESLING
Intense aroma of orange blossom with subtle spice and crisp minerality lead to a palate that is alive with crisp acidity. Bottled with some natural carbon dioxide for a tantalizing lift.
