WINEMAKING COMMENTS
Pinot gris originated in Burgundy. Optimiste Estate grown pinot gris grapes were selectively hand harvested in the cool mornings when fully ripe to ensure maximum flavour and mouthfeel. A portion was fermented in aged French oak to give the full, rich, typical pinot gris style.
COLOUR
Slight coppery hue.
AROMA
Spiced pear and musk.
FLAVOUR
The palate is generous and complex with a soft full texture, pear and stone fruit flavours with a citrus acidity to finish. Drinking beautifully now.
FOOD
Salt & pepper prawns, zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta, Salad Nicoise or a picnic of fresh fruit, soft cheeses, crusty baguettes and a good prosciutto.
