2011 Pinot Gris

The 2011 MOMO Pinot Gris is a blend of certified organic grapes from Seresin’s Home and Raupo Creek vineyards located in the Wairau and Omaka Valleys of Marlborough respectively. Grapes were hand-picked between April 6 and April 21, whole-bunch pressed and naturally fermented with wild yeast. Seventy percent of the blend was aged in seasoned French oak barriques for five months, to give added texture and complexity.

Tasting Notes

Colour     Pale in colour, with a golden hue.

Bouquet     Aromas of nectarine and lychee with hints of spice.

Palate     The palate is elegant, yet weighty and viscous, with concentrated fruit notes and a fine acidity.

Food Pairing     Delicious with pork, Asian inspired dishes, or try it with a salad of blue cheese, pear and walnut.

Cellaring     This wine has the potential to improve over the next five years, whilst providing fresh lively drinking immediately.
