Rock Ferry Marlborough Pinot Gris
The Rock Ferry Marlborough Pinot Gris grapes are hand picked and whole bunch pressed, and the clear juice transferred ex-press direct to barrel. The pressings are then processed separately and blended back at pre bottling. The wine is fermented in old oak and stainless steel barrels, and barrel matured before being filtered pre-bottling.
The wine displays succulent varietal characters such as pears and quince and is made in a dry Pinot Gris style with aromatic spice characters and a richly textured palate.
Rock Ferry Marlborough NZ Pinot Gris 2007
Delicate wine with impressive fruit purity and an appealing dry finish. Flavours include pear and anise/spice. A silken texture adds appeal.
