2019 Nevis Bluff Pinot Gris
Nevis BluffThe wines are created by Dean Shaw of The Central Otago Wine Company (COWCo) in Cromwell. Dean is an extremely talented character with a somewhat droll sense of humour and an absolute passion for Pinot Noir. Dean's approach as winemaker is a natural one. He prefers to intervene with the wine as little as possible, using wild yeasts and serenading the wine with a stereo system of which most nightclubs would be envious. This approach enables the wine to reflect the character of the vineyard it comes from as faithfully as possible, and ensures individuality and excellence, as well as a good sense of rhythm.
Created in a dry and textured style, our Pinot Gris has a rich mouth feel and shows great persistence and depth. This is a fresh, crisp, dry Pinot Gris with moderately rich stonefruit flavours and some floral and honeysuckle detail.
