Greywacke Botrytis Pinot Gris 2015 Half Bottle 375ml
Greywacke Botrytis Pinot Gris 2015 Half Bottle 375ml
Awarded 92 points by the experts at Decanter Magazine, this sweet wine from Greywacke (pronounced'grey-wacky'), is deeply honeyed and seriously impressive. Imagine apricots drizzled with honey, elderflower cordial, marmalade and orange water, baked in the oven and garnished with crumbled honeycomb. This will be served on a dessert platter alongside crème brûlée, tarte tatin, quince jelly and cup of lightly smoked tea. That's exactly what Greywacke's Botrytis Pinot Gris 2015 tastes like. Serve alongside dessert - you might find inspiration within the tasting note above - or maybe a cheeseboard or pâté and toast. Fermentation for this wine took place in old oak barrels, 60% of which were allowed to spontaneously wild-ferment, which adds even more richness and depth to the shrivelled raisin-like botrytis grapes. As if that wasn't enough, it was then left to age on the lees for nine months, imparting a wonderful creaminess. This is not just a sweet wine, it's a labour of love. But what more would you expect from the man who put New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc on the map, and who made Cloudy Bay a household name throughout the world.£7.47 per 100.00ml
