2020 AIRLIE BANK GRIS ON SKINS

$22.00

Let’s start with the COLOUR! Vibrant peach and copper tones that work so well with our new branding (not a coincidence!) ⁠
⁠
Super pretty berries and vanilla on the nose, the palate shows sweet musk and pear, rounded out with savoury grippiness and a hint of funk (that’s the skin fermentation at play). Its crisp acidity makes it a great match for food.

Description

Made from a small block of pinot gris in the Napoleone vineyard next to the dam.

Our first bottling from the bizarre 2020 vintage, which went from ridiculous to sublime. Very small crops, early tannin ripeness and picked at low baume.

Back to a 50:50 mix of skins and whole bunch ferments. Racked in early May, minimal filtration, no finings.

This vintage we focused on prettiness with supporting notes of funk and bunch. There was no shortage of flavour about, it’s an intense year for that but also characterised by high natural acidity – perfect for skinsy styles which can become a bit soapy. And of course we are very pleased with the colour, perfect match for the new label!
