TASTING NOTES Mission VS Pinot Gris 2022

Viticulture
Mission’s Cable Station vineyard located in the Awatere Valley of
Marlborough possesses a special aspect with gentle slopes. The soils
comprise of sandy loams with a proportion of clay particles that
overlay a gravel subsoil. These free-draining soils promote excellent
vine health and moderate vigour resulting in fruit with intense varietal
character.

Winemaking
The fruit was lightly pressed with minimal skin contact. This wine is
made from the free-run juice and very soft pressings. It was
fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperature to retain the full
varietal flavour of the fruit. The wine was aged on yeast lees for a
short time giving optimum balance, complexity and a full
mouthfeel.
