Tar & Roses Pinot Grigio 2024
The 2024 vintage was notable due to its lack of major weather events and a relatively coolish growing season. Yields were in line with expectations and fruit quality was good.
The grapes were machine harvested, crushed and pressed through an air bag press in the protective presence of SO2. Cold tank fermentation was undertaken at between 10 to 15 degrees Celsius. Where possible the pressings and free run were fermented separately before being blended back with the free run for stabilisation prior to bottling. First bottling 23 Oct 2024.
Chargrilled swordfish with a summer citrus salad.
Lifted characters of tangerines, white nectarines and spiced apple sauce.
The palate is a delightful mix of structure and flavour. Good viscosity with a slight phenolic grip complemented by citrus and spice notes.
